Global-Community Awareness 11/6

The club that I am involved with, Solutions Across Borders, has a film series titled “Noise Around the Gobe” that deals with worldwide youth activism. The first movie was a Hindi movie called Rang de Basanti and it was about 5 college students in India filming a movie about the Indian Independence movement. They feel as though they can’t realate to those who cared that much for their country and their fellow countrymen but when a friend dies, they are pushed to take action and truly become like the characters they play in their movie. Before the movie started we had my history professor, V. Oldenburg, come  in and introduce historical aspect of the movie, the Indian Independece movement. Overall it was a really good movie and it really got the point across about the importance of youth activism and involvement in government and politics.
