Given the importance of this topic generally, and within our area, specifically, I am hoping that you will be able to attend this event. It is not often that we have an opportunity to dialogue with people entrenched in the actual creation and research of a film as critical as this, but we do believe that it is important to make those opportunities available to faculty and to students, so this is yet another event that we are quite proud to announce. Please look at the trailer of the film. Do join us!
