Memorial Day Film Showing: Hidden Battles

HIDDEN BATTLES is an intimate and powerful documentary about what it means to kill another human being during war, as told by five men and women who have pulled the trigger.

For soldiers there is no clean break between the past of war and the present, and each deals with killing in his or her own unique way.  HIDDEN BATTLES shows five ways in which this act is integrated into five different lives.  Ultimately these stories testify to the resilience of the human spirit and hopefulness for the future.

We present it on Memorial Day, a day of remembrance and recognition of those who have died in wars.
