This is late notice, but worth mentioning.
Sebastian Junger will be at Harvard Bookstore Monday, June 7 at 6pm, to talk about his new book War and, presumably, a documentary he made with Tim Hetherington called Restrepo (which won the Grand Jury Prize for documentaries at Sundance Film Festival 2010). Both works grew out of Junger’s [...]
