The history of disabled veterans in America. A film by award-winning documentarian Ric Burns.
A moving tribute to the history of disabled veterans, Debt of Honor takes an unflinching look at the reality of warfare and disability, and features interviews with some of the country’s most prominent disabled veterans, including Representative Tammy Duckworth and former Georgia Senator Max Cleland.
Combined with a deep history as narrated by leading scholars in the fields of disability studies, history and psychology, the film palpably illustrates the human cost of war and sacrifices of military service. It is brought to life through carefully curated stills and archival footage from across the country.
Following the film, participate in a panel discussion and Q&A moderated by WHYY reporter Kevin McCorry. Panelists include director Ric Burns as well as Dr. Beth Linker, University of Pennsylvania professor and author of War’s Waste: Rehabilitation in World War I America, among other guests.
Debt of Honor will air on WHYY-TV on Tuesday, November 10, 2015 at 9:00 p.m.
