Nov. 16: Film Screening and Discussion Features Director of The Sky Below
November 16, 2010
Date: Tuesday, November 16
Time: 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Location: Regina Peruggi Room
Contact: Michael Backus at mbackus@mmm.edu
The Social Science Division and the international studies department present a film screening and discussion of The Sky Below, led by director Sarah Singh. The Sky Below is a contemporary exploration of the creation of Pakistan and the 1947 Partition of the Indian Subcontinent, weaving together 5,000 years of culture, while investigating the lingering after-effects of this six-decade old political divide, most tragically witnessed by Kashmir. With her life in the hands of strangers and sometimes gunmen, director Sarah Singh traveled from the desert of Kutch to the snowy mountains of Kashmir, and from the seaside city of Karachi to the spare but volatile terrain of the Khyber Pass. Light refreshments will be served.
