Movie set in World War I to have screening at OU
FilmGroup to host free showing of ‘Joyeux Noel’

NORMAN — Wellness In Norman, a group that promotes health and well-being in the Norman community, will host three screenings of the award-winning 2005 film "Joyeux Noel” at Meacham Auditorium, 900 Asp Ave., inside Oklahoma Memorial Union on the University of Oklahoma campus.

The film was written and directed by Christian Carion.

Screenings will be 6 p.m. Thursday, 4 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.

The film, based on true stories of the 1914 World War I Christmas ceasefires along the Western front, tells the story of a spontaneous Christmas Eve truce declared by the Scottish, French and German troops during World War I.

For one night, enemies leave weapons behind to band together to forget the brutalities of war.
