  10/20 Tue 7:00pm  CAN meeting  111 Gregory Hall, UofI campus

	(Wright St just N of Library)
	Campus Anti-War Network meeting:
	Maura and Metro will talk about
	the US' School of the Americas (SOA).

	(Over Nov 20-22, some CAN members and others from C-U

  10/21 Wed 7:00pm  Channing-Murray Foundation  1209 W. Oregon, Urbana

	    "The Least of These"

        Documentary film, with discussion to follow.

	Detention of immigrant children in a former medium-security prison in Texas
	leads to controversy when three activist attorneys discover troubling
	conditions at the facility. This compelling documentary film explores the
	role - and limits - of community activism, and considers how American
	rights and values apply to the least powerful among us.


  10/22 Thu 8pm (also each night Wed-Sat, with talkback afterward on Thursday)
	The Station Theatre,  223 N. Broadway, Urbana
	http://www.stationtheatre.com    384-4000

	"My Name is Rachel Corrie"

	A one-woman play based on the diaries of Rachel Corrie,
	who with other International Solidarity Movement workers
	had been putting her life on the line for human rights,
	standing up to Israeli bulldozers demolishing Palestinian homes,
	when she was killed by a bulldozer in 2003.

	On Thursday, Oct. 22nd, there will be time for a talk-back period
	following the play.  Other performances are at 8pm Wednesday through
	Saturday, Oct 24th.

	The Station Theatre taken some risk in bringing this play to C-U,
	as there's been strong opposition here and elsewhere to hearing this
	story told, to the point that some theater companies have abandoned
	attempts to show the play.    Thanks to them for performing it here!
	

  10/22 Thu 7pm   University YMCA Latzer Hall, 1001 S. Wright St, UofI campus
	Global Lens film series

	"Those Three", film from Iran, 2007, by Nagji Nemati

	Just one day from completing their military training, three conscripts
	desert their camp and escape into the frozen wilderness of Northern
	Iran. Travel through this mountainous, snowbound region is dangerous,
	but "those three" opt for the independence it promises and must now
	forge their way through an uncertain landscape, with only friendship to
	see them through. In this austere and mesmerizing debut feature,
	director Naghi Nemati's attention to the minutiae of human
	relationships is a quiet and deliberate meditation on the value of
	responsibility, connection and sacrifice.
