My Perestroika: campus visit

[Clowes, Edith W]

I'd like to second Amanda's pitch for Robin Hessman. She visited KU as part
of our August conference on "Identity and Community after the Cold War Era."
She did a magnificent and lengthy Q&A following the screening of "My
Perestroika" with 150+ people in attendance.

Subject: [SEELANGS] My Perestroika: campus visit

Yesterday we had a campus visit by filmmaker Robin Hessman to screen her documentary "My Perestroika" and it went so well that I wanted to encourage others to do the same.  In addition to visiting a class and having lunch with students, she conducted a wonderful Q&A about the film after an evening screening.   Robin was a truly engaging speaker.  If you haven't seen the film yet, try to catch a screening or get it for your library!

You can see a trailer for the film here: www.myperestroika.com
