The ACN began its anniversary by inviting Naomi Tutu, a human rights activist and Dr. Yossi Kugler, a Holocaust scholar to speak to students on campus. It continues its celebration with the film screening “What I Want You to Know” on March 21 at 7 p.m. in the Hawkins-Conard Student Center Auditorium.
Elizabeth Buttil, the assistant director of the ACN, notes that the film, featuring the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, was “written and produced by two combat veterans and they’re going to join us after the film”.
She notes that people should come see the film because it will show some of the aspects of war.
“I think that film will provide a good perspective on some of the more challenging aspects of war,” Buttil said.
The ACN is showing the film because of the connection to the Symposium Indifference’s theme of Perspectives on the Mental Health Crisis.
“We felt like the way that his film addresses moral injury would make it a good fit for those deeper conversations,” Buttil explained.
