University of Windsor faculty members are helping bring new perspective and dialogue to an important piece of local and national history through their involvement in a recently released short documentary, The North Wall: Meanings of a Monument.
Produced by retired political science sessional instructor Blake Roberts, the film explores the significance of the Canadian Vietnam Memorial.
“Our interpretation of the Vietnam War is clouded by the Cold War and geostrategic conditions of the past,” explained Roberts.
