Thank you for this, David .. very glad to have the Daniel Berrigan piece. It puts me in mind of something that Jacques Ellul said about WWII, which was that in a sense the Axis won, because it was the values of National Socialism that prevailed even as the National Socialist regime was being overwhemed.
I saw A Hidden Life when it came out. It's a hard watch, but a necessary one. The sense of inevitability that takes hold.
Thank you for pointing to both the Berrigan piece and the Malick film. I did indeed miss A HIDDEN LIFE when it was released, and will seek it out now based on your recommendation and knowing the movie’s basic origin story. (Wondering if you’re familiar with the work of the great American poet William Stafford, who was a conscientious objector during WWII, and a lifelong pacifist. You can hear him read one of his poems here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/52881/at-the-un-national-monument-along-the-canadian-border). Always grateful for your work, David.
If you have cable it’s currently available on FXNOW. It’s also free on Hulu if you have that subscription. (Also available pay-per-view on other platforms.)

Thank you David. It is important that we confront acts of violence to remind Ourselves “If you want the children we must be different.”
Remember the song from South Pacific “ You have to be taught to hate.” So,true
