March 28 – 30 | Film Screening and Photo Gallery
Brucemore proudly announces a groundbreaking collaboration with filmmaker and photographer Jeremy Glazier on the powerful and evocative project, From Iowa and Back: The Vietnam Era. This feature-length documentary sheds light on the untold stories of Iowans who served their country during the Vietnam era, capturing their experiences with honesty, respect, and heartfelt authenticity.
From Iowa and Back: The Vietnam Era represents years of community engagement, collaboration, and storytelling. The film offers a deeply personal exploration of the lives of ordinary Iowans who grew up in the 1950s and 60s, left the idyllic landscapes of small-town America, and faced the realities of war in foreign lands. Through Glazier’s lens, the film chronicles the veterans’ journeys, from the turbulence of war to the challenges of reintegration upon returning home. It provides a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by a generation whose narratives have often been overshadowed by history.
This event will feature screenings of From Iowa and Back and a photo gallery exhibition featuring snapshots and artifacts from the Vietnam War era. Admission to this event is free and open to the public.
