Film Screening: “Abandoned Allies”
by Meredith Alumna Camden Watts, ’03
Wednesday, January 30, 7 p.m., Carswell Hall
Documentary Filmmaker Camden Watts, ’03, will screen her film “Abandoned Allies,” about the Montagnards who served as American allies during the Vietnam War. It explores the history of these tribal people, how they supported the U.S. Special Forces during the war, and what has happened since then. Now, more than 40 years after the war ended, both American and Montagnard soldiers open up about what took place and how it will affect future generations. Watts spent four years on this project, from its inception to its completion in 2012. Visit abandonedallies.com for more information.
