Saturday, February 18th we will be continuing with the Black History month theme with the historical drama "Freedom Riders," about interracial groups who challenged racial segregation in the American South by using civil disobedience, sitting on buses where they were not allowed.
February 25th we will be changing gears, and talking about 'what is really going on in Syria,' with some critiques of different media representations of what is going on politically vs the story the media is telling us.

The meters are enforced 24/7. There is also a pay-and-display lot beside Simard Hall. The best bet is on nearby streets in Sandy Hill, e.g., Henderson, where there are signs for 2 or 3 hour parking up to 7:00 p.m., unrestricted after 7:00.
There will be no film screening this weekend, Saturday February 4th.
More movies still to come though, stay tuned for updates.
