Terrorism on Screen

Terrorism on Screen – Illinois State University – Capen Auditorium, Edwards Hall
On the eve of the 15th anniversary of 9/11, and in light of recent events worldwide, this film series asks: Who is a terrorist, and why? How can cinema help us reflect on terrorism in contemporary times?
