The Center for Film & Media Studies promotes film and media studies and production at the university and around Cincinnati. As part of a series on European migration, the Mini Microcinema will host a screening of Special Flight, related shorts and a discussion of the issues.

Special Flight Conversation Starter: Geordry asks, “Why are people who are not criminals deprived of their freedom?” He notes that this is particularly puzzling in a democratic country that prides itself on valuing freedom and human rights. How would you answer him?
