Join WUCF on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at the Orlando Science Center for a FREE screening of a portion of the film, Debt of Honor: Disabled Veterans in American History, a new documentary film by six-time Emmy Award-winning director Ric Burns.
Debt of Honor will examine the way in which the American government and society as a whole have regarded disabled veterans throughout history, beginning in the aftermath of the Revolutionary War and continuing through today’s conflicts in the Middle East. The film combines personal stories, told by distinguished disabled veterans, with deep history narrated by leading scholars in the fields of disability studies, history and psychology to illustrate the human cost of war and the enormous sacrifices of military service. These sacrifices are brought to life through hundreds of carefully curated still images and archival footage from across the country.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with local veterans and support providers.
