Screening of “They Shall Not Grow Old”

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

Thursday, November 7 at 6:30 pm in the Winn Room at Coronado Public Library 

In honor of Veterans Day, the Library will screen They Shall Not Grow Old. This Peter Jackson directed documentary about World War I contains never-before-seen colorized archival footage showing the day-to-day experience of soldiers. Jackson aims to give these men voices, investigate the hopes and fears of the veterans, the humility and humanity that represented a generation changed forever by a global war.

The screening is free and open to the public.  The film runs for 93 minutes.
