Film and Discussion
about the Vietnam War What & Who:
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the ending of the Vietnam War, California State University, Los Angeles' Luckman Fine Arts Gallery will present a film and speaker discussion based on Barbara Sonneborn's film, Regret to Inform. An unwavering look into the deep, long-lasting effects of war, Regret to Inform brings together women who lost loved ones on both sides of the Vietnam conflict. Their voices, and the many-layered truths of their stories, gently forbid viewers to look at the costs of war in anything but human terms. When:
Monday, April 16, 6:00 p.m. Where:
University-Student Union, Maxwell Theatre (2nd floor), Cal State L.A. The University is located at the Eastern Avenue exit, San Bernardino (I-10) Freeway, at the interchange of the 10 and 710 Freeways. Public (permit dispenser) parking is available on Lots C and G, or upper level of Parking Structure II. Speaker:
