Just Mercy - Film Discussion
Advocacy & Activism Film Series
Rescheduled For 03/03/2021 - Join the Center for Campus Involvement (CCI), Black History Month Committee (BHM) and Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA) Social Connectivity & Community Engagement for a dialogue on Activism, Advocacy and Allyship in response to the film "JUST MERCY." Registration is required ahead of time to access our zoom discussion and film screening for U-M students, staff, and faculty.
ABOUT THE FILM SERIES:
“Activism is inherently a creative endeavor. It takes a radical imagination to be an activist, to envision a world that is not there. It takes imagination and that’s not far from art.” - Ava DuVernay
The BHM committee, MESA’s social connectivity and CCI hope to generate thought provoking discussion, engagement around advocacy, activism and allyship this semester by presenting a series of films huddled around these topics, areas that we believe require critical and intentional reflection year round. Each film presentation will conclude with a discussion from students, professionals, and artists familiar with the themes presented throughout the series and in the film. Each film and discussion will be available virtually and will take place the third Tuesday each month at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are available through MUTO for each film. (3/16 - Hidden Figures, AA/PI Heritage Month Date and Title TBD, 4/20 - One Thousand Journeys: The Arab-Americans).
