THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD (rated R) Friday, June 14 at 7pm In the John E. Hillert Auditorium **After the Flag Day ceremony in the Masonic Amphitheatre.** Flag Day Week concludes with a screening of this stunning documentary. Rates 100% ‘fresh’ by patrons on the popular film sire Rotten Tomatoes. The film screening will be held in the Masonic Theatre Auditorium and is free. Refreshments will be available. Using state-of-the-art technology and materials from the BBC and Imperial War Museum, filmmaker Peter Jackson allows the story of World War I to be told by the men who were there. Life on the front is explored through the voices of the soldiers, who discuss their feelings about the conflict, the food they ate, the friends they made and their dreams of the future. One reviewer noted, “Director Peter Jackson’s assemblage of restored footage — colored and rendered in 3D, with added sound effects, voices, and narration — is an astonishing achievement, a distillation of war itself.” Join us for this special community screening.
