Those who survived are called "hibakusha"--people exposed to the bomb--and there are an estimated 200,000 living today. Today, with the threat of nuclear weapons of mass destruction frighteningly real- the world's arsenal capable of repeating the destruction at Hiroshima 400,000 times over, Oscar® award-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki revisits the bombings and shares the stories of the only people to have survived a nuclear attack. 6:30 PM Land Lecture Hall, 4th floor Belfer Building, KSG Contact: meriem_ait_ali_slimane@ksg08.harvard.edu |

Film Series "The Circle" "The Circle" (Persian: Dayereh) is the 2000 fiction-film by Iranian independent filmmaker Jafar Panahi that criticizes the treatment of women in Iran. The film does not have a central protagonist: instead, it is constructed around a sequence of short interconnecting stories that illustrate the everyday challenges that women face in Iran. Each story intersects, but none is complete, leaving the viewer to imagine both the background and the ending. The film won several awards, including the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 2000, but it is banned in Iran. 6:30 PM Land Lecture Hall, 4th floor Belfer Building, KSG Contact: meriem_ait_ali_slimane@ksg08.harvard.edu |
