Global Hotspots Through Foreign Film

Seeing is believing, and foreign films give us the experience of traveling beyond borders without a plane ticket. The journey begins with the screening of eight award-winning foreign films from countries that examine global hotspots in conflict. These award-winning, powerful films serve as a catalyst for our post-screening discussions about foreign film, as well as present-day issues in the film’s geopolitical region and how the film reflects different cultures and global issues. We will watch the films together as a group and have an in-person discussion afterwards. The course may include a visit to a Mission of the United Nations (to be confirmed. Past visits include the Permanent Missions of Italy and Colombia).
