The Politics in Film Series offers regular, large-screen showings of classic explorations of key political themes in film with the hope of further illuminating central questions and problems that students are encountering in their coursework.  Each film includes a short introduction by a member of the Temple community, drawing on the research interests and experience of our own faculty and graduate students.  

The Fall 2007 POLITICS IN FILM Series presents:

October 31: Spike Lee's When the Levees Broke, at 5 PM in Tuttleman 105.

With an Introduction by Dr. Anthony Monteiro of the Department of African American Studies.

Come by for the first screening of the year, some refreshments, and a moment of political reflection.
