This screening will feature 3 short films, In the Language of Our Mothers, Is It Because I'm A Girl, and Echoes From Home. The films' crews were made up of Penn students and students of the FilmAid Kenya film training program at the Kakuma Refugee Camp. These films were directed by Penn Professor Peter Decherney, Nairobi-based filmmaker Peter Gitau, and Penn alumna Jean Chapiro.

The Lauder Institute of Management & International Studies and The Center for Africana Studies are pleased to present African Narratives, a new film series that showcases global African cinema. The series features films that explore the diverse complexity of African life and culture and highlight the work of its new and established filmmakers. Each showing includes light refreshments and a post-film discussion/Q&A.
