Tufts Amnesty International Presents: Film Screening of “Mother, Daughter, Sister” and Conversation with Pulitzer Prize winning Journalist Esther Htusan.
Mother, Daughter, Sister is a half-hour documentary about ethnic women affected by rape as a weapon of war in Myanmar. Told through the eyes of four Rohingya and Kachin survivors, the film shows the brutality of the Myanmar military, the resiliency of survivors and their quest for justice and accountability.
The modern borders of Africa have been attacked as having no bearing to the ethno-religious situations within each country and being a large contributor to a lot of Africa's vicious civil wars and conflicts. With emerging self-governing regions and rising separatist movements across the continent, how should the global community treat the modern borders of Africa? Are they a legitimate construction that ought to be upheld, or something that should be cast out in favor of new alternatives? Join us in ALLIES as we discuss postcolonial Africa.
