UWRC film event

On February 4, the UWRC welcomed film director Emanuele Crialese for a screening of his award winning film “Terraferma” followed by a lively Q&A session with over 50 students and faculty in attendance.   Topics of discussion included the continued relevance of this 2011 work to the current migrant crisis in Europe, the shooting of some of the film’s most dramatic scenes, and the extraordinary real life story of the migrant who portrays the character Sara.  Many thanks to Emanuele Crialese and Carolina Ciampaglia for making this event possible!
