You are cordially invited to the UK premiere of 'Change the Subject!' 

This documentary (60m) tells the story of a group of students at Dartmouth College, whose singular effort at confronting anti-immigrant sentiment in their library catalog took them all the way from Baker-Berry Library to the halls of Congress.  

“Change the Subject” shows how an instance of campus activism entered the national spotlight, and how a cataloging term became a flashpoint in the immigration debate on Capitol Hill.  

Following the screening, there will be a short panel (Eve Lacey, Newham College, Cambridge; Ludi Price, SOAS; Tom Meehan, UCL )that will discuss the documentary as well as related issues. 

Date: Monday, 3rd February, 2020
Time: Doors open at 5.30pm, screening starts at 6pm
Location: Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre, Wilkins Building, University College, London (UCL) 
Access: Step free access is available via the South Cloisters building
