Following the screening director Andrea Luka Zimmerman will join us for a Q&A, hosted by Andrew Hoskins (Research Professor in Social Sciences at the University of Glasgow).
Charting the extraordinary life and times of Bo Gritz, one of America’s most decorated veterans and the 'inspiration' for Rambo and Apocalypse Now's Colonel Kurtz, Erase and Forget is an enquiry into the nature of human conscience and the limits of deniability. Using never before seen archive footage of covert US operations alongside interviews filmed over a ten-year period, artist-filmmaker Andrea Luka Zimmerman explores ‘the deep bonds between Hollywood’s fictionalised conflicts and America’s hidden wars’.
