As always, this Film Series is free and open to the public, but given the content, no children are allowed to attend. This Event is sponsored by Mentors in Violence Prevention at MCC (MVP-MCC), the Department of Anthropology/ History/ Political Science/ Sociology, the Department of Visual and Performing Arts (VaPA), DCC’s Civility Committee and DCC’s Office of Campus Life.
Plan to get there on time or early, as we expect another packed room for this long-awaited event!
