Filmmaker Nina Paley to visit Alma College

On November 18, filmmaker Nina Paley will visit Alma College to show and discuss her graphic film, Sita Sings the Blues.

This presentation is free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Alma College Library, Department of Religious Studies, and Departments of Communication and New Media.

Date: Wednesday, November 18

Time: 7:30 p.m.

Location: Dow Science Building, Room L1
