Inocente

On Wednesday the CCAR hosted a REACT to FILM event at Pace in which students gathered in the Pace Art Gallery for free food, and a screening and discussion of the documentary Inocente.

The 35 students in attendance were able to watch the film, and then participate in a Google Hangout video chatting session with a representative from REACT to FILM, the director of Inocente, and four other universities across the nation.
