An American Nurse at War
This 34-minute, award-winning documentary honors women's service to their country and chronicles the heroic experience of nurse Marion McCune Rice of Brattleboro, Vermont. Rice's story is told through her own photos as well as written accounts by wounded soldiers who shared their wartime experiences. An American Nurse at War returns to campus to recognize the 100th anniversary of the so-called Great War and to pay tribute to volunteer Red Cross nurses.
Following the film, an informal discussion will be led by film producer Steve Hooper and Keene State professors Tom Durnford, Nick Germana, Patricia Shinn, and Eleanor Vander Haegen (emerita).
This event is free and open to the community. DVDs are available for purchase and proceeds will benefit the Keene State College Nursing Program.
To request accommodations for a disability, please contact the coordinator at least two weeks prior to the event.
