Screening of ‘The House I Live In’ scheduled

Wednesday, March 19, 2014

The film “The House I Live In” will be shown at 7 p.m., Tuesday, March 25, in the Student Union, Room 340. A panel discussion will follow.

According to event sponsors, the documentary explores America's "War on Drugs” and the profound human rights implications of this “war.”  The film outlines the seriousness of mass incarcerations and drug abuse as a public health concern. It also investigates the errors and shortcomings of this "war" and the harm on America's poor, especially minority communities. 

The Center for Graduate Life, the Center for Wellness Promotions and the Multicultural Resource Center are cosponsoring this free, public event with support in part from a Chancellor's Diversity Challenge Fund Mini-grant.
