May 31 @ 5:30
The Graduate Engineering Equity Committee (GEEC) is organizing a movie night on May 31st, 2022 from 5:30 PM in the Engineering Undergraduate Society (EUS) Common Room (Mcconnell 032). The movie night will focus on the documentary film “Writing with Fire”, which was nominated for the best documentary feature at the 2022 Academy Awards. The documentary is based on a successful Indian news outlet, solely run by Dalit women who come from one of the most oppressed communities in India. It shares the experiences of several women in the editorial team of the news outlet and how they overcame challenges with their resolve and compassion. The story unveils the dark side of the caste system in India, all the while leaving room for discussion about challenges faced by women in journalism. We look forward to seeing you at the event.
