Cafe Politique

Cafe Politique: Professor Wynn Rees from Politics and International Relations will be introducing Zero Dark Thirty at the Broadway cinema on 7^th May.

Wyn Rees is Professor of International Security in the School of Politics & International Relations at the University of Nottingham. He writes and teaches in the fields of transatlantic security relations and Western counter-terrorism policy.

Professor Rees will give a 20-minute introduction to the film 'Zero Dark Thirty', directed by Kathryn Bigelow. The film focuses on America's hunt for Osama bin Laden and probes how its policies of torturing detainees provided some of the leads that resulted in bin Laden's death in Pakistan. It leaves the viewer to weigh up whether the compromises of America's ideals within its War on Terror were a price worth paying.
