"The House I Live In"

Much thanks to a wonderful fellow student for letting me know about an upcoming event that promises to be fascinating. This year's Sundance grand jury prize winner, "The House I Live In," directed by Eugene Jarecki, will be screened on April 19th in New York City. The event is presented by Philanthropy New York at the Paley Center and a discussion with the director will follow.

The documentary film discusses the devastating effects of our "War on Drugs." Please click here to register. For more information on the film and for trailers, please visit the official website.
