FALL 2011 CONVOCATION!
Tuesday, October 18, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.
Jones Auditorium
Beth Murphy, film director and author
"Big Ideas...Small Choices"
A film maker tells a story of two courageous and visionary women
Two American women. Their husbands were killed in the attacks of 9/11. What would they do?
They make an "uncommon choice." They decided to go to Afghanistan where the terrorists were trained.
To meet war widows there. To try to understand the lives of those women. To find healing.
And one film maker. Beth Murphy, successful director and author, wanted to tell the world the powerful story.
So she made a movie: "Beyond Belief." It starts with 9/11, but it's really about choices.
