Twenty years ago the United States invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq. By the time U.S. forces left in 2011, more than 100,000 people had been killed, thousands more had fled, and fundamentalist militias ruled the streets. How does such a calamity reverberate through time? How does war live within us, even when we are at peace?
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the United States invasion of Iraq, which led to more than 100,000 individuals dead, the destabilization of the Middle East, and long-term consequences for the U.S. Join a panel of experts for a conversation about the aftermaths of these events for war and peace.
Join us for an inspiring talk by Cardinal Robert W. McElroy, followed by a panel discussion on new and old threats to peace in light of the war in Ukraine.

Upon its release in 1929, Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front was quickly adapted into a film directed by Lewis Milestone, which won the Best Picture Oscar.
Nearly a century later, a new adaptation from Germany directed by Edward Berger arrives, complete with a parallel narrative not found in Remarque's novel. Still, the plot tracks the story familiar to many: A young German soldier enlists in World War I with idealism that cracks when confronted with the brutal realities of trench warfare.

Belonging to a set of films made with not much distance from the historical event featured, The Hurt Locker is set in 2004 and debuted in 2008 while the Iraq War carried on. That fusion of the past and present gave an immediacy to a film aiming to bring the high tension of the Iraq War to its (largely American) audience.
