On My Mind

Now in its third year, the Independent, Documentary, and Foreign (IDF) film series is a very successful collaboration, managed by a committee of faculty, staff, and librarians that meets monthly to choose the 12 to 14 films on IDF's annual calendar and run the program. Documentary film can be a visceral, powerful tool that delivers information with immediacy. 1 do not know if we would have attracted a comparable audience for a lecture or for a book discussion about the Ciudadjuarez tragedy.
