The Center for Living Peace just announced its newest line-up for its Living Peace Series for 2011-2012. The stellar series features international leaders who are committed to global health, sustainability and compassion.
On Thursday, Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m. Academy Award-winning actress Geena Davis, executive producer and filmmaker Abigail Disney and UCI Professor Roxanne Varzi, will join the Center’s founder Kelly Thornton Smith at UC Irvine for a discussion on PBS SoCal’s five-part series of documentaries entitled “Women, War and Peace" premiering Oct. 11 (and running through Nov. 8).
Davis narrates one of the films, and Disney was an executive producer. Tickets sell out quickly, but you can find them at livingpeace.uci.edu. UCI students, faculty and staff are admitted free with reservations; general seating costs $8. At the Student Center at UC Irvine.
Fans of the incredible speaker series that debuted last fall remember that it featured Charlize Theron, Sir Richard Branson, and even the Dalai Lama speaking at UC Irvine.
