Location: Boulder, CO
Time & Place: 12:00-1:30 pm, DSRC GC402

This Academy Award winning documentary is a riveting and dramatic portrait about the origins of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and its creator, Maya Lin. Renowned filmmaker Frieda Lee Mock combines interviews and archival footage to chronicle the inspiring story of Maya Lin, a 21-year-old Yale architecture student, whose plan was selected from over 1,000 different designs, beating out some of the most prestigious architecture firms from around the world. In Washington to defend her design, Lin faced incredible opposition, challenging indignant veterans and a hostile Congress to ultimately prevail with her emotional "Wall". What began as one of the country's most bitterly disputed public monuments, has become one of the world's most inspirational and frequently visited memorials.
