memorial day 2.jpeg
Many veterans have a hard time adjusting to normal life when they return from war. Post-traumatic stress disorder and suicidal thoughts can plague their daily activities.

What makes this process particularly difficult is the “tribe-like” mentality of soldiers during war. They spend all of their time together, they work together, they feed together, and they hunt together. When they return to “individualist societies,” the support of their comrades is lost. Author Sebastian Junger (Tribe, War) will appear in conversation with KUOW military and veteran reporter Patricia Murphy for a discussion of this re-entry process, and how ordinary citizens can ease this transition. As Junger suggests, perhaps if everyone recognizes and embraces the distinct tribes or groups they’re affiliated with, it could shed light on the nation’s problems when it comes to feelings of belonging.

Wed., June 1
Movie Screening and Discussion
That Which I Love Destroys Me
2:30-4:30 p.m., Room 1402
memorial day 3
That Which I Love Destroys Me is a unique and powerful film by director Ric Roman Waugh. TWILDM is an uncensored look at the current epidemic of PTSD and severe mental trauma that create tremendous challenges for returning service members. A five-year labor of love, TWILDM followed two Special Operations Soldiers as they returned home after fighting in the longest combat campaign in American history only to face a new battle; the effects and stigma of PTSD and reintegration as a whole. But more importantly, the documentary addresses how they’re overcoming these issues.

Our sincere thanks for your continued support of our student veterans and our program.  We hope to see you there!

SIFF correction and schedule update

Information given to the College about the SIFF film The Tenth Man, which is being shown on opening night, Fri., May 27 at 7 p.m., contained incorrect information. An initial synopsis of The Tenth Man stated that R&B singer Usher was to play the father of the lead character. The actor in that role is in fact named Usher Barilka, and has no affiliation with the R&B singer. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

In addition, the film The Patriarch, which was scheduled to show on Sat., May 28 at 6 p.m. has been replaced with the film The Architect. Starring Parker Posey and Eric McCormack, The Architect is a “bizarrely comic tale of love, obsession, and deceit.”

More information and tickets can be found at www.siff.net.
