On October 30th, 2008, a panel made up of Professor Blackwood, Professor James Morrison, UCLA head of Screenwriting Richard Walter, Sgt. Brad Colbert US Marines, and Evan Wright, author of the book Generation Kill, discussed the miniseries and book Generation Kill. The panel worked to explain the evolution of war cinema and how Generation Kill fits into that time line. Their ultimate goal was to try and explore the way Generation Kill works to affect people’s perception of the war it represents. Sgt. Colbert discussed the accuracy of the book and miniseries as it was based on reports about his unit of shock troops that spearheaded the Iraq Invasion. A Q & A session that lasted about an hour took place after the panel discussion.
