Talk | Religion, Satire and the Limits of Speech


With Dr. Joseph Chuman. The horrific massacre at the offices of the satiric magazine "Charlie Hebdo" in Paris raises a complex of questions as to causes and how to respond. Among them are whether religion deserves any special immunity from ridicule. Whether freedom of speech is exclusively a legal matter or whether prudence in exercising freedom of speech is warranted and to what extent. As humanists we are strongly dedicated to both free speech and respecting the dignity of human human beings. How are we to assess these values when they conflict as they ostensibly do when employed for satirical purposes? Does the massacre in Paris reflect a "clash of civilizations" or was it and kindred initiatives a product of a constructed political ideology? How are we in the West to respond?

Film | Oscar-Nominated Documentary: Rory Kennedy's Last Days in Vietnam (2014)


During the chaotic final days of the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army closes in on Saigon as South Vietnamese resistance crumbles. The United States has only a skeleton crew of diplomats and military operatives still in the country. As Communist victory becomes inevitable and the U.S. readies to withdraw, some Americans begin to consider the certain imprisonment and possible death of their South Vietnamese allies, co-workers, and friends. Meanwhile, the prospect of an official evacuation of South Vietnamese becomes terminally delayed by Congressional gridlock and the inexplicably optimistic U.S. Ambassador. 98 min. Q&A with director Rory Kennedy.
