NEWS RELEASE

NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University’s Schools of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Office of Veterans’ Affairs will host filmmaker Carol Dysinger at a screening and discussion of her documentary film, “Camp Victory, Afghanistan,” on Tuesday, March 1 at 7 p.m. in Dole Auditorium, located in Webb Hall.

The film, which runs approximately 84 minutes and “gets at the stark reality of the US/NATO ‘exit strategy’ from Afghanistan,” was shot over the course of five years and follows a battle-hardened Afghan General and the steady stream of US National Guard soldiers, including those of the Vermont National Guard, deployed to train him and his army.

Dysinger is a Professor of Graduate Film and New Media at NYU Film School in the Tisch School of the Arts.

This event is free and open to the public.

For more information, please contact Associate Professor of English Lea Williams at 802-485-2601or lwilliam@norwich.edu.
