Fall 2012: Community Cinema Film Series

Student Activities is presenting a Community Cinema Film Festival this fall. In conjunction with Community Cinema, they'll be showing one film a month addressing world happenings. The showings are free for everyone.

Community Cinema is a groundbreaking public education and civic engagement initiative featuring monthly screenings of films from the Emmy Award-winning PBS series "Independent Lens." Every month between September and June, Community Cinema brings together leading organizations, community members and public television stations to learn, discuss and get involved in today's critical social issues.

Rafea, a 30-year-old Jordanian mother of four, is traveling outside of her village for the first time to attend a solar engineering program at India's Barefoot College.
