The documentary film A Small Act is compelling in its debate for education as a basic human right. The film was the top pick at the Sundance Festival in 2010 and was featured last year as an HBO Premiere. The underlying premise is simple and profound: that one can change the world through a simple act of kindness. A question and answer session with the subject of the film, Chris Mburu, will follow the showing. Sponsored by the Office of Community Engagement & Service Learning.  | | A SMALL ACT Trailer |
