>>> 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!
