Reel World film series launches Oct. 8

The Center for International Studies announces its line-up of globally-focused films for fall quarter. This monthly film series is free and open to the public. Faculty and student organizations are encouraged to suggest films that can supplement a course, an event or a discussion that raises awareness about other cultures, about global issues, or about viewing the world from different perspectives.

The first film in the series will take place at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8, in VU 552. Based on director Ela Thier's personal immigration experience, Foreign Letters is a film about poverty, prejudice, shame, and the healing power of friendship.
