EVENTS
Screening of "Beyond The Wall" and Panel Discussion
Location: Theodore Roosevelt SHS
Program Date: February 6, 2019, 5:30-7:30pm
Globalize DC is very pleased to partner with Theodore Roosevelt High School to present a free screening of the popular documentary film, "Beyond The Wall," which tells the story of four DCPS high school students abroad in China. This is a great chance to see the film if you've missed previous local screenings. The film runs approximately 5:30-6:30 pm, and will be followed by a panel discussion, which will include Roosevelt alumnus Jeffrey Wood, one of the students featured in the film, who used this 10th grade trip to China as a launching pad for a foreign service career. Please join us.
See the attached flyer for additional information. Please share within your networks.
