Join the Southwest Library in honoring Veteran's Day through a screening of the first episode of the PBS documentary series, American Veteran.
From PBS: American Veteran, created by GBH, will trace the veteran experience through a four-part broadcast series, a nine-part podcast, and a ten-part series of digital shorts. From the citizen-soldiers returning from the Revolution to today’s warrior class, it is a deeply moving story, highlighting personal remembrances, drawing civilian viewers into an unfamiliar culture, and showcasing the evolving relationships between Americans who have served in the military and those who have not.
This event is intended for adults and will take place in meeting room one in honor of Veteran's Day, November 11th. The documentary is rated TV-14.
Episode 1: The Crossing (55 minutes)
“There is a very stark line between before boot camp and after boot camp,” a veteran recalls. As recruits take the oath to serve, they leave the civilian world to become a soldier, sailor, marine, airman or woman. This is the start of their transformation. Hosted by TV host and Marine Veteran Drew Carey."
