We are pleased to offer this special encore viewing of the award-winning documentary, “Shakey’s Hill” in partnership with the Main Library. In 1970, CBS Cameraman Norman Lloyd followed the 5th Battalion 7th Cavalry into the jungles of Cambodia . The mission was to destroy substantial weapons and supply caches being used by the North Vietnamese Army and to destroy any forces guarding them. Retrospective interviews 35 years later with several of the same soldiers reveal the effect of battle on those soldiers and the bonds which were created. “Shakey’s Hill” recently won the Best Documentary Award at the GI Film Festival in Washington . World Affairs Council member, General Maury Edmonds will introduce the documentary and answer questions following the film.
