Focusing on the harrowing events at Guantánamo and on the courage of those in the military and intelligence services who created a written record of those events, this program will explore the role that writing can play in witnessing—and confronting—human rights abuses. What goes into the decision to write something down? What happens when you do? Does the act of writing alter events and transform its subject? Does it transform the writer?
Moderated by Tom Keenan and Lynne Tillman
