About the Social Justice Film Series: Brought to you
by the Center for Cultural Pluralism, the Fall 2012 Social Justice
Film Series theme is '[Re]Framing OUR Reactions Around
Race' and offers participants an educational opportunity to
explore through film and subsequent discourse and engage issues
of identity in its various forms, visible and invisible.
Films selected for the Social Justice Film Series have two
viewings and are generally screened up to a half hour and followed
by an engaged discourse on the themes by the participants. To
be respectful of your time, it is our hope that this
entire educational program does not exceed ninety minutes.
