Join us for a screening of the powerful documentary, Komora: To Heal, co-directed by filmmaker and LC Academic English Studies student, Emmanuel Habimana on Thursday, January 31, in Council Chamber.

Emanuel was only 9 during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. His powerful story of survival is told this documentary, co-directed by Emmanuel and Natalia Ledford, and sponsored by National Geographic. Today Emmanuel is committed to a vision of the world filled with peace, hope and reconciliation. He was awarded the Dallaire Scholarship at Lewis & Clark College where he is currently enrolled in Academic English Studies. Read more about Emanuel here. A question and answer session with Emmanuel will follow the screening of the film.

Join us for a screening of the Maysles brothers' 1968 film, Salesman, on Tuesday, February 19, at 7pm in Miller 102. Of the film, film series coordinator Jim Bunnelle writes, "documenting Bible salesmen on their day-to-day peddling routes through suburban Boston could have been unbearably dull. But it isn't. In fact, I would argue that what is captured--and importantly, brilliantly edited together--exemplifies a sort of quintessential Americanism: a fusion of huckster commercialism, quasi-religiousness, human frailty, and a good dose of sales guilt, all stretched over the classic Horatio Alger myth of "working your way up from nothing."
