American Film & Discussion Program:
Malcolm X
Thursday, January 17
6pm, I-House Great Hall
Writer-director Spike Lee's portrayal of the life and times of civil rights leader Malcolm X. Lee presents Malcolm as a three-dimensional human being whose message was powerful and necessary but often flawed. As the story spans the four decades of Malcolm's life, Denzel Washington captures with equal conviction and accuracy the sullen teenager, the hardened criminal, the fiery activist, and the mature martyr. Malcolm X is a deeply moving biopic that puts a human face on an often misunderstood man. (Review from allmovie.com). This special screening is co-presented by the I-Center and American Pie.

COMPAGNIE EA SOLA Drought and Rain
Wed., Jan. 23 at 8p.m.
Mandeville Auditorium
In 1991, Ea Sola created a work that reflected Vietnam's torn history through the voices and war-time memories of village elders in northern Vietnam. More than a decade later, she has created a vital, enthralling contemporary work grounded in traditional culture, music, and dance to understand how the next generation thinks and feels about a war that it does not know, but has only seen through saturated images on the television screen.

Social Justice Quote of the Week:
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."
