Pretentious Title, Simple Idea

Ad Ignorantiam was a first time effort, shot with a wind-up Bolex. This is a community college student film with a pretentious title for a simple anti-war statement. The original sound track (which was unsynced music) didn't fare well in the digital transfer process of this 50+ year old film print, so I replaced it with something I found on the internet* that seems to fit pretty well. I also did what I could to clean it up a bit for ease of viewing.
