“All Quiet on the Western Front” is one of the greatest war films ever made. The 1930 Oscar winning film is based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque, a German veteran of World War I. The film depicts the extreme physical and mental stress German soldiers' endured during the war, and the subsequent detachment they felt from civilian life upon returning home: a story that reflects the experience of many of today’s veterans.

The “Military Film Series,” sponsored by Belfer Center’s Defense and Intelligence Projects, examines moral and ethical dilemmas portrayed in films about war and conflict. Students are confronted with the choices made in war and asked to analyze and assess those choices.

This event is open to Harvard students, fellows, faculty, and staff on first come first served basis.

Pizza and soft drinks will be served.
