We have a change in programming on Wednesday, as Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese is no longer able to join us - but he will reschedule a date in the future where he can show his film and discuss it with you! In that session’s place we have another film review session, this time of the Werner Herzog & Errol Morris executive produced documentary, The Act of Killing by Joshua Oppenheimer.
