DESCRIPTION:Due to the impending storm\, we are rescheduling this event to 
 March 20. \n\n \n\nJoin us for a screening of Brief Tender Light\, a new d
 ocumentary from Ghanaian filmmaker Arthur Musah that follows four African 
 undergraduates through MIT\, America’s premier technological university 
 and his alma mater. A Q & A with the filmmaker and Philip Abel Adama will 
 follow the screening. \n\nThe students embark on their MIT education with 
 individual ambitions –  to engineer infrastructure in Tanzania\; to secu
 re a better life for family in Nigeria\; to contribute to postgenocide rec
 onstruction in Rwanda\; to advance democracy in Zimbabwe. Their missions a
 re distinct\, but fueled by a common goal: to become agents of positive ch
 ange back home.   \n\nWhile their dreams are anchored in the societies the
 y have left\, their daily realities are defined by America – by the imme
 diate challenges in their MIT classrooms\, and by the larger social issues
  confronting the world beyond those classrooms. Their new environment dema
 nds they adapt. Over an intimate\, nearly decade-long journey spanning two
  continents\, students and filmmaker alike are forced to decide how much o
 f America to absorb\, how much of Africa to hold on to\, and how to reconc
 ile teenage ideals with the truths they discover about the world and thems
 elves. \n\n\nA valid MIT ID must be presented for admittance. \n\n \n\nSea
 ting is limited. Early arrival is suggested.
