Elahe Amani, student affairs director of technology, will provide commentary and context to a Sept. 30 screening of the film “Kandahar” at the Fullerton Public Library.
September 15, 2006
The film follows an Afghan-born
Canadian journalist who returns to her homeland in a desperate attempt to reach
her sister who threatens suicide because of her circumstances under the Taliban. The
2:30 p.m. screening is one of nine events hosted by the library as part of
their “One
Book, One Community” campaign.
Amani, a
member of the campus community since 1999, has served as chair of the Coalition
of Women from Asia and the Middle East and a member of the Women’s Intercultural
Network (WIN). In 2001, the Iranian-born Amani was honored by Soroptimist
International of Westminster as one of it’s Women of Distinction for
her efforts on behalf of the human rights status of women.
