Killing Time
In the early 1990s, a sixth of the Bhutanese population was forced to flee their country due to cultural repression.  Eighteen years later, Bhutan is known as the promoter of Gross National Happiness while the exiled Bhutanese are struggling for survival in refugee camps in Nepal.   The film maker, Annika Gustafson, will speak after the film.

Monday, April 26  7pm
My Neighbor, My Killer
In 1999, Rwanda began the Gacaca - open air hearings with citizen judges meant to try their neighbors and rebuild a nation recovering from the 1994 genocide of the Tutsi minority by the Hutu majority. 

Monday, May 3  7pm
Burma VJ
Burma VJ offers a unique insight into high-risk journalism and dissidence in a police state.  Risking torture and life in jail, courageous Burmese citizens use handycams to record the 2007 protest by Buddhist monks on the streets of Rangoon.  This film was nominated for an academy award.
