Osama Viewing 7 PM Ostrander Auditorium
Sponsored by Cutting EDGE
This stunning film, the first to be made in a post-Taliban Afghanistan and inspired by a newspaper account read by director Siddiq Barmak, recounts the efforts of a family of women to survive under an oppressive regime. To eke out a meager living, they dress up their 12 year-old girl, Osama, as a boy so she can work. A story full of hope and triumph, Osama boasts non-actors, including Marina Golbahari, Arif Herati and Zubaida Sahar.
"Twelve Nights with Viola & Olivia", an original play written by MSU Women's Studies student Hannah Miyamoto, directed by MSU Theatre student Randy Wyatt, and featuring a cast of MSU actors, is available for viewing on the MSU streaming video server.

The LGBT Center is pleased to announce that Esera Tuaolo will be the Eliminate Hate Week Keynote speaker. Esera is a veteran of the National Football League, a former Minnesota Viking, and one of only three NFL players to publicly "come out of the closet." He brings to the podium his inspiring and fascinating story of what it was like to be gay in the hyper-masculine sport of professional football and the importance of "speaking to your individual truths without fear of intimidation."
