Thursday 1st November 2018- Film Screening 2



Join us for the second of two film screenings to celebrate the end of Semester 2, 2018. Dr Elena Serrano will present for us THE MIDWIFE'S TALE:

A docudrama adaptation of Ulrich's Pulitzer-winning book, which was based on thousands of entries in the journal of Martha Ballard, a Maine midwife, in the late 1700's and early 1800's. The movie intercuts between reenactments of Ballard doing her Maine midwifery and related tasks, and Ulrich in her eight years of research on her book; in the end, clear comparisons are made between the work of the two women.

Eastern Ave Rm 119
6-8pm
Snacks and drinks provided, all welcome!
