Join us for a free screening of the film Cirque du Cambodia (85 minutes). Stay after for a special discussion and Q&A with filmmaker Joel Gerhson!

About the Film:
Cirque du Cambodia follows the journey of two youths who live out every child's fantasy - to run away from home and join the circus. But not just any circus - they dream of taking the stage with Cirque du Soleil, the largest theatrical company in the world. Their home, a rural village in the ancient, faraway Kingdom of Cambodia, makes their quest even more extraordinary.
