Cinema is a form of art and it is, thus, appropriate that the CAM would host viewing of artistic, top-notch movies. This Tuesday and Wednesday The Cincinnati World Cinema is pairing up with the CAM for a viewings of Nanking. The Cincinnati World Cinema is an organization that provides "the community with outstanding motion pictures that explore the human condition and and celebrate cultural diversity." In other words, highly artistic films you could not see outside independent film houses or museums.


Nanking is the "the true story of how a few brave souls saved the lives of thousands." Its a documentary of the Nanking massacre of 1937, one of the most brutal in all history. Although not terribly uplifting, it is informative, thought-provoking, and important.
