Movie: "Aguirre, the Wrath of God"


The screening of films related to HIS 106 (the middle part of the Western Civ sequence) continues with Werner Herzog’s "Aguirre, the Wrath of God."  Filmed on the Amazon and released in 1973, the movie is based on actual historical events and has a fair amount (perhaps surprisingly, given Herzog’s commitment to art first) of historical accuracy.  It tells a story of conquistadors gone bonkers.  Come join us Thursday, July 16, 12:30 p.m. in Room 11-107, Brighton Campus.
