Date: 20/11/2020

For decades, people around the world have turned to movies and television for entertainment, distraction and often insight into the human condition. Given this extensive and growing consumption of popular media in all forms, it makes sense that the public’s knowledge of history, particularly military history, and general perception of the military have always been strongly influenced by popular culture. Captain Dale Dye will explore the portrayal of the military in the movies since World War I, how the relationship between the film industry and the U.S. military has evolved and changed over time, the key partnership between Hollywood and DoD, and the ongoing challenge of maintaining accuracy without derailing entertainment value and mass appeal.
