Following the movie HAYDN REISS will join Pulitizer Prize winning author of The Color Purple, ALICE WALKER, and the award winning author of War Made Easy and Made Love, Got War, NORMAN SOLOMON, for a discussion about pursuing peace during wartime.

Every War Has Two Losers confronts two powerful ideas: Do wars lead to lasting peace and are wars inevitable? Based on the journals of William Stafford, a conscientious objector in World War Two and award-winning poet, Stafford reasoned that war was a choice – a human choice – and not inevitable. War was but one way to respond to conflict. The film is an invitation on how all of us can contribute to a more peaceful world.

Featuring Coleman Barks, Robert Bly, Maxine Hong Kingston, Michael Meade, W.S. Merwin, Naomi Shihab Nye, Kim Stafford and Alice Walker. Narration by Academy Award winner Linda Hunt. Voice of William Stafford by Peter Coyote. Music by John Gorka.
