Reading Project Film Series Kicks Off!


Join us for the first of four scheduled film screenings of the Reading Project Film Series. The first film, Cancer Cell Research: The Way of All Flesh, is the BBC documentary that figures prominently in this year's Reading Project book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. This 60 minute documentary examines how samples of Lacks' cancerous cells, taken by a scientist nearly five decades ago, have proven vital to cancer research worldwide, and why they have cause controversy among scientists in the research community.

Date: Tuesday, September 13
Time: 7:00-8:00 pm
Location: Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, CLUE room 308
