The Hate U Give Film Screening Tonight

Tonight, everyone! We’re hosting a screening of the 2018 film The Hate U Give with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. The program will be held in Beckman Auditorium at the library at 6PM and will be preceded by a presentation of data about police shootings of black civilians and a discussion afterwards. Tell your friends, and we hope to see you all there.

“Based on the best-selling novel, The Hate U Give tells the story of Starr Carter, who lives in two worlds: the poor, black neighborhood where she resides and the mostly white prep school she attends. This uneasy balance is shattered when she witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood friend by a policeman. Facing pressures from all sides, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what’s right.” (Source: http://ow.ly/miBp50kn4oT)

The Colorado

Join us this week on Tuesday, March 6th at the Hansen Student Center from 7:00pm – 9:30pm for a special screening of the film The Colorado. In a 2016 review, The New York Times says: “The film, narrated by the actor Mark Rylance, surveys the Colorado River’s history and ecology, as well as the people whose lives and livelihoods it affects. Various sections focus on aspects like prehistoric settlements, European exploration, dam-building, agriculture and migration, and climate change.”

You can learn more about the film here.

The project’s director and co-author, Murat Eyuboglu, will introduce the film and discuss its development and production. The event is free and open to the public. We hope to see you there!
