NYUSPS CALA Spring 2020 Film Series – Your Voices, Your Votes: Activism around the World
As the U.S. presidential election rapidly approaches, this series focuses on the state of democracy and democratic values around the globe. Through four powerful international films, we examine the critical importance of individual and collective political engagement across various issues. We consider how shifting the boundaries of our democracies can allow for the inclusion of a greater array of voices. And we remind ourselves that liberty can never be taken for granted.
All screenings are free with RSVP to https://tinyurl.com/CALASP20FILM. Each guest must RSVP individually.
