The UW Clowes Center for the Study of Conflict and Dialogue is proud to announce our 2011-12 quarterly film and speaker series.  Our subject this year isRethinking Citizenship, Democracy and Activism: Local-Global Entanglements.  Each screening is free of charge, and we welcome your attendance.
 
In winter quarter, we will screen The Future of Food, a documentary about the complex technology and key regulatory, legal, ethical, environmental and consumer issues surrounding the changes happening in the food system today, directed by Deborah Koons Garcia.  Our guest speaker will be Heather Day, Co-Founder of the Community Alliance for Global Justice and UW alumnus.
Thursday, February 16th at 2:30pm in UW's Allen Auditorium.
 
Our spring quarter film will be 23rd and Union.  Directed by Rafael Flores, this docu-drama weaves real interviews with fictional characters to investigate the 2008 murder of Degene Berecha in the popular Seattle restaurant "Philadelphia Cheese-Steak".  The film is an ADAPTED story, based on a range of stories by people acquainted with the victim and convicted murderer.  It is used as a vehicle to discuss gentrification and the tension between young African-American men, Ethiopian immigrants and gay couples in Seattle's Central District.  Flores will be on hand after the screening for a discussion period.
Date and location TBD.
 
For more information, please see our website: http://depts.washington.edu/clowes1/.
We look forward to seeing you at the screenings!
