All are welcome to join us for our first members' meeting, featuring a documentary screening of Poverty, Inc., and a short presentation by Dr. Adewole, the new faculty Adviser for our BRI-Ibadan chapter. Refreshments will be served.
The Saint Louis University BRI chapter is proud to screen Poverty, Inc. to students and faculty. It is a bold look at “the business of doing good.” Please join us for refreshments and lively discussion following the film.
From the film’s website:
“The West has positioned itself as the protagonist of development, giving rise to a vast multi-billion dollar poverty industry — the business of doing good has never been better. Yet the results have been mixed, in some cases even catastrophic, and leaders in the developing world are growing increasingly vocal in calling for change.
Drawing from over 200 interviews filmed in 20 countries, Poverty, Inc. unearths an uncomfortable side of charity we can no longer ignore.”
All are welcome to join BRI-Marian for a screening of a Star Trek episode, focusing on healthcare policies. Afterward,Dr. Jason Eberl, Semler Endowed Professor of Medical Ethics at MUCOM will join us for a discussion about what we saw. Please RSVP to ensure enough food for all.
Students at George Washington University watch Code Black.
"The Bleeding Edge" is a film about the organ market in China. Lunch will be served.
