Militainment, Inc. offers a fascinating, disturbing, and timely glimpse into the militarization of American popular culture, examining how U.S. news coverage has come to resemble Hollywood film, video games, and “reality television” in its glamorization of war. Mobilizing an astonishing range of media examples – from news anchors’ idolatry of military machinery to the impact of government propaganda on war reporting – the film asks: How has war taken its place in the culture as an entertainment spectacle?And how does presenting war as entertainment affect the ability of citizens to evaluate the necessity and real human costs of military action? The film is broken down into nine sections, each between 10 and 20 minutes in length, allo wing for in-depth classroom analysis of individual elements of this wide-ranging phenomenon.

Two powerful short films were featured: “Connie Stay Home,” which explores the anti-Vietnam War campaign in San Diego that mobilized thousands of people to vote against sending the USS Constellation aircraft carrier back to Vietnam, and “Yo Soy El Army,” which takes a critical look at military recruitment targeting Latino communities, particularly young people. Alongside the screenings, collaborative group activities were conducted- countermapping the military presence in our schools and neighborhoods through a series of activities. We also heard from youth organizers and elders from past and ongoing anti-imperialist and anti-war movements.
