Here are the LPIRG and CKXU FUNdrive events for this week. CKXU is a
Working Group of LPIRG and is co-sponsoring our Cinema Politica film
screening this week.
Cinema Politica - Manda Bala
Tuesday, October 7th at 7pm
Galileo's Gallery
Admission is free, refreshments will be provided.
Brazil is known for its beautiful beaches, lush rain forests, and vibrant
culture. However, in recent years, the country has developed more of a
reputation for corrupt politicians, kidnapping, and plastic surgery.
MANDA BALA (Send a Bullet) artfully connects these seemingly disparate
elements and conducts a dazzling, yet harrowing, examination of the tragic
domino effect that has reshaped the face of the country and created an
entire industry built on corruption. From its unlikely opening on a
money-laundering frog farm, MANDA BALA displays a strikingly distinctive
tone. Featuring a stylish score and articulate interviews with kidnappers,
kidnap victims, and the people who profit from them, as well as the
paranoid people whose lives they impact, it looks and sounds more like a
stylized fiction film than a heavy political documentary.
Speaker Presentation - Impacts of Sexual Violence
Wednesday, October 8th at Noon
Galileo's Gallery
Kristine Cassie of YWCA Lethbridge will be discussing domestic violence
against women with a focus on university aged women. Cassie will also be
discussing the impacts of sexual violence, give information on the Sexual
