SUMMARY:Free Film Screening of From Iowa and Back: The Vietnam Era
DESCRIPTION:Produced in collaboration with filmmaker Jeremy Glazier and Brucemore’s Artisan Studio\, 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. \nA screening of this film will take place in the Veterans Memorial Building armory on November 21 at 6:30 PM with exhibits and a variety of organizations available beginning at 6:00 PM. There will be a Q&A with Jeremy Glazier and others following the film. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required. \nNavigation instructions: \n\nPlease use street parking on the 2nd Avenue Bridge (free after 5:00 PM)\nEnter through the building through the 2nd Avenue Bridge doors\n\nPreview the film: \n\n\n \n\n\n
