Regeneration: Craiglockhart War Hospital, Scotland, 1917, and army - TopicsExpress



          

Regeneration: Craiglockhart War Hospital, Scotland, 1917, and army psychiatrist William Rivers is treating shell-shocked soldiers. Under his care are the poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. Riverss job is to make the men in his charge healthy enough to fight. Yet the closer he gets to mending his patients minds the harder becomes every decision to send them back to the horrors of the front. This powerful 1997 film adaptation of Pat Barkers award-winning novel of the same name explores how the traumas of war brutalised a generation of young men. We will be screening the movie on Thursday 6th November at 9:15pm as part of Cornwall Remembers. For a flavour, watch the clip below, in which we see Owen crafting his famous Dulce et Decorum Est. Tickets £5 from Hall for Cornwall or on the door.
