Documentary Screening; Q & A with Film Director

On May 19th, AGS will host the screening a documentary film about work of the New York City Commission on Human Rights, followed by a Q & A session with one of the co-directors of the film.

"The Title 8 Project" is an independant documentary movie showing the daily work of the New York City Commission on Human Rights, the real life situations with which it deals and the challenges that it faces as it pursues its mission of enforcing the New York City Human Rights Law against discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations (Title 8 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York).

AGS alumna Audrey Wang (M.A. in International Relations, class of 2009) works as a Human Rights Specialist for the New York City Commission on Human Rights. She says: "As a part of a services-oriented agency, I interact daily with individuals and civil society at the grassroots level; my work is immediately applicable to the lives of New York residents and visitors."

"The Title 8 Project" is co-directed by Antoine Meyer (who will be present at the screening), Newton Da Costa, and Pierre-Julien Trombe. The screening/ Q & A will take place at AGS at 6.45 pm on Thursday, May 19. If you wish to attend, please contact Matthew Delabre.
