March 31 — Watch the award-winning Iranian film "Blackboard"

Blackboard (Takht-e Siah) follows two freelance teachers who roam the rugged mountains along the Iran-Iraq border. With blackboards strapped to their backs, the teachers search for students. Local Kurds, reluctant to take lessons, use the blackboards for practically every purpose other than learning to write and read.

When: Tuesday March 31, 6:00-9:00 PM
Where: IUPUI Nursing Building Room 103 (auditorium)

No registration required. Just show up. Possible discussion afterwards. For more information please contact Wanda Colwell.

Welcome to IndyBuzz

IndyBuzz provides information about Central Indiana's most stimulating and thought provoking events -- discussions and conferences, art exhibitions, films, music performances. It tells you what's happening … explains why you should be part of what’s happening. More than an events calendar, though, IndyBuzz tries to make events more meaningful for participants by suggesting an article or two to read before the event, recommending books or websites that will be sources of further information after the event, and pointing out related events that are worth attending.

Visit IndyBuzz's sister site, http://www.provocate.org/, which provides a context for the clusters of the events discussed in IndyBuzz.
