Operation Free, a non-partisan initiative of Truman National Security Project, in coordination with Dartmouth College, invites you to attend a special screening of the documentary film, “THE BURDEN: Fossil Fuels, the Military, and National Security,” at Moore Hall, in order to clearly illustrate how the U.S. military is uniquely positioned to bolster a clean energy economy that will strengthen our national, economic, and environmental security. Following the film will be a panel discussion, focusing on points raised within the short film and discussing how the state of New Hampshire and institutions such as Dartmouth College play a significant role in furthering energy security in the U.S.

This feature-length documentary is the first of its kind to shed light on how fossil fuel dependence has become "our greatest long-term national security threat." Because of this, the military is at the forefront of transitioning to clean energy in order to prevent this "threat multiplier" from putting our men and women in uniform deployed around the world at greater risk.
