Danny Boyle's adaptation of Vikas Swarup's 2005 novel, Q&A, has enraptured and enraged worldwide audiences for its audacious depiction of Mumbai's slums, its Dickensian view of the city's underclass, and one orphan's ability to make money talk in a globally franchised quiz show.

Come share your own stories of this film and quiz your professors on why you think it's become the commercial success that it has. You might win the Oscar pool!

Slum-appropriate refreshments will be served.
