"Joyeux Noel" December 20, 2012

Screening of Christian Carion's 2005 film, a moving portrait of the celebrated Christmas Eve truce when French, German, and English soldiers came together in a fleeting brotherhood. In 1914, World War I, the bloodiest war ever at that time in human history, was well under way. However on Christmas Eve, part of the Western Front called an informal, and unauthorized, truce where the various front-line soldiers of the conflict peacefully met each other in No Man's Land to share a precious pause in the carnage.
