Panel 2E: “The Universal Soldier: Vietnam”, A Film with Commentary
Special Interest Section: Media, Arts, and Culture
Meeting Room: Peace B
Presenter: Michael T. Barry Jr., University of Florida
Is war inevitable? What would happen if humans could understand conflict without creating enemies or fundamentally different “others”, wrongheaded and therefore expendable? What if we could see that soldiers fight for many reasons, ideals, and pressures, but share a universal experience? Would this knowledge change the way we look at current wars in the Middle East? In this film, a young filmmaker, distant from the standard narrative of the U.S. war with Vietnam, uses archival footage and interviews to retell the story. Michael T. Barry Jr. brings training as a historian and filmmaker, compassion for the older generations of Americans and Vietnamese who suffered from the war, and a critical new eye to their stories. The Universal Soldier will rely upon archival and interview footage that has not been seen by U.S. audiences, including archival footage by Communist and U.S. combat photographers, interviews with Northern Vietnamese women who guarded and maintained the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and with ordinary U.S. soldiers remembering a war that continues to trouble them and the collective memory of their generation.

Presenters:
Nicole Mariutto, University of Central Florida
Oswmer Louis, University of Central Florida
Kyle Aulow, University of Central Florida
This 25-minute documentary “Marching Forward” explores a story of unity in 1964 segregated Orlando, when one white high school marching band (Edgewater High School) and one black high school marching band (Jones High School) were invited to perform at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York City. Despite the strict racial segregation of school and public places, both bands reached the World’s Fair, coming together through music and sense of community. We want to be able to share this story with present day audiences to begin a community discussion about race relations in the 1960s and how Orlando, and the country, seemed to stray away from racial hostility, at least in the public eye. We feel that peer feedback and comments can help us improve our documentary in order to get the best out of our story.

Material Life and Narrative History, the
uses of both:
Some neglected aspects of the last 50
years of Spanish Colonial Life in Honduras
The early 18th century in Honduras was
an era of recovery from the disastrous 16th century. That all changed in the
1770s with cattle epidemics, rising prices of staples such as jerked beef,
beans and maize, and stagnant wages in many sectors.
These changes, I found,
were the background to independence, but political and ethnic disturbances were
also in play. Honduras had become a country with a mulatto majority, with
increasing discontent or indifference to Spaniards and Catalans, and the whole
regime. New Spanish legislation -- the so called Bourbon Reforms - stirred the
pot, and smuggling with the English in Jamaica did not help.
The Tegucigalpa elites,
with a tradition of treating the lower classes with the strict but often
benevolent paternalism of the time, watched them closely, and gradually
discerned that the masses were indifferent or hostile to the Spanish colonial
regime, and went for independence. Attention to the U.S. war of independence,
the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, Napoleon, the revolts in Mexico, and
tumultuous events in Spain, together the usual explanations for Central
American independence, were certainly of importance, but the history of
internal economics, politics, and ethnic differences has been ignored, and,
this research will claim, was the most important factor in reaching
independence. How much this kind of research would help to explain the
independence movements in the other Central American regions is unknown, but
further research would perhaps yield some surprising results.
