WFYI Documentary Rebroadcast
Tough Decisions: Defending the Homeland
Speaker: Students from law and SPEA
Time: 10:30 p.m.
Location: WFYI Channel 20.1
Tough Decisions: Defending the Homeland is a compelling documentary that takes viewers behind-the-scenes during a groundbreaking simulation of terrorism in Indiana's capital city. Produced by WFYI in partnership with the Indiana University School of Law – Indianapolis and the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Tough Decisions chronicles the minute-by-minute response as Law and SPEA students role-play government and civilian officials attempting to deal with sometimes faulty or incomplete information in an unfolding terrorist attack. Together, they must determine the best course of action and communication.
Thank you to the sponsors and partners who made the simulation event possible: The Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs; the Center for the Study of Global Change; the IUPUI Office of Emergency Preparedness; Marion County Emergency Management; IUPUI and its 40th Anniversary Celebration Funding; and WISH-TV, Channel 8.
