“Tickling Giants” screening
On April 20, NSU is showing a screening of the new film “Tickling Giants” in the Performance Theater located in the Don Taft University Center. The film depicts comedian Bassem Yousef’s fight to bring satire to the Middle East. The film highlights the employment of comedy rather than violence to bring a voice to the controversies regarding politics, the media and religion. Refreshments will be served at 4:30 p.m. and the screening will begin at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, but tickets will be required to attend the screening. For more information call 954-262-7482 or email mmichell@nova.edu

April is Genocide Awareness Month and the April 13 is the 23rd anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. The film is aimed at presenting the lessons and mistakes of the past to learn from so that they don’t recreate themselves in the future.
