  • THE THINGS THEY CARRIED

    Produced & Directed by Liberty Smith | 2009 | 9m37s

    The Things They Carried explores magical thinking in the military. The greater the degree of danger and the absence of certainty leads people to seek out sources of personal strength, whatever they might be, and though the use of good luck charms and rituals might seem superficial, they are anything but.
