“A Bold Peace” is a documentary about how Costa Rica abolished its military and the peace dividends that they have reaped. Watch the trailer here. We will show the film in two rooms at Central Library Madison, Rooms 301 and 302, so you can watch it in Spanish or English – your choice.
About the film: In 1948, Costa Rica dismantled their military and cultivated security relationships with other nations through treaties, international laws, and international organizations. Free from the burden of military spending, they instead invested in the Costa Rican people – creating strong public institutions including public higher education and universal health care.
Small group discussions following the film. RSVP if you can to warabolition@gmail.com. The Antiwar Film Series is sponsored by the Madison chapters of Veterans for Peace, World BEYOND War, and Jewish Voice for Peace.
