This film is based on two stories that were interwoven (combined) to make one film, Ideologies & The Promise. 'Ideologies' is based on a true story written by Maria S. Mejia (she speaks in detail on that story in Livestream II. 'The Promise' is based on this Philosophy paper the director wrote for an undergraduate class in 2017. That paper is the basis of tonight's discussion. Please note: reading the paper is not a requirement for the talk, just an added bonus. We have included the film ahead of the talk. If you prefer to go directly to the talk, simply scroll to the end of the film using your cursor. The system will automatically move to the next track at the end of whichever track you are on. Enjoy and thank you again.
