Santa Barbara Santa Maria San Luis Obispo, CA, October 20, 2026 —
A new documentary about Walter H. Capps is being screened virtually through a Zoom Webinar hosted by UC Santa Barbara’s Walter H. Capps Center. The film, titled A Tribute to Walter H. Capps: Scholar, Teacher, Public Servant, examines the life and legacy of the former university professor.
Capps was known for teaching courses on challenging subjects, including the Vietnam War, religion and politics. The documentary also addresses his commitment to public service, according to the information provided about the screening.
The virtual format means the screening is being held through Zoom. The available details do not specify when the webinar will take place, whether viewers must register, or whether the film will be available to watch afterward. They also do not identify the documentary’s filmmakers, its running time, or whether the webinar will include a discussion or other programming.
The information provided describes the film’s subject and host but does not give further details about its production or the specific material it includes. It is therefore unclear how the documentary presents Capps’s teaching and public service, or which people, events or periods of his life receive particular attention.
The screening is hosted by the Walter H. Capps Center at UC Santa Barbara, the institution identified in the announcement. No additional event logistics or schedule were provided.
