"Dear White People"
Film Screening and Discussion

"It’s a clever campus comedy that juggles a handful of hot potatoes — race, sex, privilege, power — with elegant agility... You want to see this movie, and you will want to talk about it afterward, even if the conversation feels a little awkward. If it doesn’t, you’re doing it wrong. There is great enjoyment to be found here, and very little comfort." New York Times review (October 16, 2014)
