Twenty years ago, David Maraniss published “They Marched into Sunlight,” a fascinating snapshot of the Vietnam War era told through interlocking narratives of the 1967 Dow Chemical protests on the UW-Madison campus and a brutal battle in Vietnam happening at roughly the same time. Years later, choreographer Robin Becker turned the book into a dance (“Into Sunlight”) and then award-winning documentarian Ron Honsa created a documentary about the transformation of the book to the stage. We will present the documentary and hear a talk afterward from Becker, Honsa and Maraniss. Reception precedes the session at 5 p.m.
