Producer Susan Hackley makes poignant point regarding war at USIP presentation last week

5/31/2016

 
Last Thursday at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), Susan Hackley led a panel discussion on “War Changes Everyone: The Hidden Costs of War at Home and Abroad”. The mother of a Marine who fought in Iraq, Susan Hackley was joined by Iraqi Khitam Alkhaykanee, a program officer at USIP, and Rob DuBois, Navy SEAL who served in Iraq. “We need to put human faces on those affected by war, and that includes the children of Americans who served in Iraq, and the children of Iraq impacted by war,” Hackley commented.

A Conversation about War: Producer Susan Hackley travels to Indiana to lead an event with Silouan Green, veteran and author

5/20/2016

 
A Conversation about War
​

Join us for a community gathering to talk about war. This event will be led by Silouan Green, veteran and author, and Susan Hackley, documentary film producer, and it is open to everyone free of charge. We invite veterans, soldiers, liberals, conservatives, independents, pacifists, parents and siblings – and anyone else with something to say about war.
When a nation goes to war, a nation should have a conversation on why we fight, how we fight, and what we do when the fighting stops and our troops come home. Never before have so few served relative to the general population, and to many Americans the wars are all but invisible.

This Conversation about War is our first step in making sure that all Americans can express their thoughts about war and ask questions in an environment of respect and curiosity. This is for everyone. We hope you will come.
