civil rights and movies
Join us Thurs., Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. in the Black Box Theater (bottom floor of the 4000 bldg.) for “Civil Rights and the Movies,” a discussion of how the topic of civil rights is portrayed in film globally. This FREE event is brought to you by the Global Affairs Center.

How are civil rights portrayed in films around the world? Does “civil rights” mean the same thing in Asia, the Middle East and Europe, as it does in the United States? How have movies been a platform in other countries and regions for raising awareness of and advocating civil rights?

Join us for a discussion of Civil Rights and the Movies, with:

Chris Fisher, Drama/Cinema Department, Shoreline Community College
Duygu Erdogan Monson, Turkish Actor, and Drama/Cinema Department, Shoreline Community College
William Lindenmuth, SCC Philosophy (Moderator)
