Prof. Sherman to introduce Wednesday’s film series offering
This Wednesday (Sept. 17) at 7 p.m. at the Neville Public Museum, the Green Bay Film Society’s Fall international film series continues with the 2011 Lebanese comedy, “Where do we go now?” Set in a remote village where the church and the mosque stand side by side, the film follows the antics of the town’s women to keep their stubborn men from starting a religious war. In a re-working of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, the women, heartsick over sons, husbands and fathers being lost to previous flare-ups, unite to distract their men with clever ruses. Prof. Heidi Sherman of Humanistic Studies and History will introduce the film, co-sponsored by Humanistic Studies and the Center for Middle East Studies and Partnerships.
