Terrorism film Saturday

The Indian film 'The Terrorist' will be shown at 7 p.m. Saturday as part of the Women and Gender Studies Festival.

Inspired by the events surrounding the 1991 assassination of India Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, the film features Malli, a hardened killer who has spent most of her 19 years in revolutionary training. 'The Terrorist' is an intimate diary of the genesis and cultivation of a suicide bomber, one who must confront personal responsibility and maternal instincts in the face of duty.

The film will be followed at 8:30 p.m.with a discussion on the role of film in activism, led by GVSU film professors Barbara Roos and Pete Porter.
