needs to spark coming decades of all the creative work our students and staff present on University Theatre’s stage.” Reaves obtained his MFA from the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music and his BFA from UNC-Greensboro. Before arriving at NC State, he taught at Campbell University and the University of Cincinnati.
Hondros is a documentary that follows the life and career of NC State graduate and noted war photographer Chris Hondros, who was killed while on assignment in Libya in 2011. Driven by a commitment to bear witness after the events of 9/11, Chris was among the first in a new generation of war photographers since Vietnam. Hondros explores the complexities inherent in covering more than a decade of conflict while trying to maintain a normal life. The film is directed by Greg Campbell, Chris’ friend since childhood, with Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Lee Curtis as executive producers. It was winner of the Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival 2017. This free screening is presented in partnership with the Gregg Museum, the Alumni Association, and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. PHOTO BY RON FOREMAN
