Directed by Michael O'Connell
NR, 74 minutes
If you think coal is an inexpensive energy source, consider the price paid by the people of southern Appalachia. For two years, filmmaker Michael O’Connell documented the struggle between West Virginia activists and coal companies over the mining practice known as mountaintop removal, during which explosives are used to remove 1,000 vertical feet of soil and rock. The process chokes the air and creates pools of toxic sludge, as the people of the region use every means of non-violent protest at their disposal––including a sit-in at the governor’s office––to save both their land and their lives.
Director Michael O'Connell and narrator William Mapother '87 (In the Bedroom, TV's Lost) are scheduled to be present for discussion.

It's 1961 in the London suburb of Twickenham, and bright sixteen-year-old Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is on the cusp of womanhood, fantasizing about a more sophisticated, refined life while smoking Gauloises cigarettes. Though she feels smothered by her own adolescence, Jenny is an assiduous, cello-playing schoolgirl with a real chance of landing a spot at Oxford University. Her path takes a turn, however, when she meets David (Peter Sarsgaard), a man who seems to embody her every fantasy. [ more ]
