“May-morial Day” continues with 2008’s “The Hurt Locker”!

Released in 2008 amid controversy due to its depiction of the Iraq War, “The Hurt Locker” struck Oscar gold, taking home 6 Academy Awards—including the glass-ceiling-shattering Best Director award for Kathryn Bigelow. “The Hurt Locker” brings audiences on a deployment to Iraq alongside a U.S. Army Explosive Ordinance Demolition team as it navigates the insurgent-filled streets of Baghdad in the post-invasion climate that claimed millions of lives. Instead of focusing on the grand narrative that is war and the overall war effort, “The Hurt Locker” shows that war is fought by real, flawed, people, and can leave battle scars on the human psyche that cannot be seen.
