MUNICH
Duke CampusThe Duke Screen/Society’s “Morality of Power” series launches with what may end up being director Steven Spielberg’s most underappreciated work. This important, intelligent drama tracking the aftermath of the massacre of eleven Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics is an intriguing character study, poignant political drama and ongoing allegory for contemporary American foreign policy. The screening, which begins at 7 p.m. in Griffith Film Theater, will be followed by a discussion led by Professor Peter Euben and Melanie Mitchell of the Kenan Institute of Ethics.
