Canadian Senator and retired general Romeo Dallaire, Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, founder of the Daughters for Life Foundation, and Dr. Samantha Nutt, founder of War Child Canada, come together for this extraordinary panel, moderated by CBC Radio producer and documentary maker Karin Wells, that examines the contemporary equivalents to Mother Courage's children, and the living legacies of war. This event took place in 2014 as an accompaniment to the Stratford Festival's production of Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children.
Meighen Forum is supported through an endowed gift from Kelly & Michael Meighen and the T.R. Meighen Family Foundation.
