This event is past.

  • Nov 16, 2021

The Lewiston Public Library is providing a free, public screening of the documentary film No Greater Love (2015) on Tuesday, November 16th. This screening will start at 4:30 PM with an introduction from Dr. Chris Price in Callahan Hall at the Lewiston Public Library.

No Greater Love is the first documentary directed by an active duty soldier in combat. This film tells the story of how an Army chaplain and his men fight their way through a tour in one of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan and what it’s like for them as they struggle to find their way home again. No Greater Love is brought to you by Samuel Goldwyn Films, directed by Justin Roberts, and has a running time of 98 minutes.

Dr. Chris Price, visiting assistant professor of politics at Bates College, will provide a brief introduction to the film at the beginning of the screening, focusing on the ethical complexities of conflict as they relate to American soldiers. Dr. Chris earned his Ph.D. at Yale University, and has since been the Wisconsin International Relations Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Chicago. At Bates, Chris teaches courses on conflict, security, and ethnicity. Chris studies the dynamics and legacies of political violence, and is particularly interested in how violence affects ethnic and other group identities.

Admission is free. Due to the graphic nature of the film, viewer discretion is advised.

Under current masking requirements at the Library, refreshments will not be provided or permitted during the screening.

Kanopy, an on-demand streaming video platform available to all Lewiston Public Library cardholders, will be used to stream the film during this screening.
