About
the
Social Justice Film Series:
Brought to you by the Center for Cultural Pluralism, the Fall
2014 Social
Justice Film Series theme is "Queering Identities" and
offers
participants an educational opportunity to explore through film
and
subsequent the queer experience and its intersections with other
social identities.
Films selected for the Social Justice Film Series have one
viewing
and are generally screened up to a half hour and followed by
an engaged discourse on the themes by the participants. To
