Exposing Terror: Film Series This Week At OSA

This week OSA presents Exposing Terror: Highlights of the Soros Documentary Fund/Sundance Film Festival, a series of 10 award-winning documentary films on political, cultural, religious and economic intolerance and injustice.

The five-day series includes two Oscar-winning films, One Day in September, a 1999 documentary on the 1972 Munich Olympics, and Born into Brothels (2004) a portrait of children in Calcutta’s red light district. The program is meant to reshape and challenge our understanding of the term "terror," according to OSA organizers, and to show how terror is influenced by oppressive political regimes, cultural interolerance, religious extremism and economic inequality.

All the films in this program were supported by the Soros Documentary Fund/Sundance Documentary Film Fund. The Soros Documentary Fund was established by the Open Society Institute in 1996 to support documentaries on human rights, civil liberties and social justice. In 2001, the Fund became part of the Sundance Institute and continues to support creative documentary filmmaking and filmmakers around the world.

The series runs Wednesday, March 17 through Sunday, March 21. All films are free and open to the public. For film listings and program schedule, visit OSA's Web site, or check CEU's events listings..
