Tonight the IUPUI Office of International Affairs continues its Partnership Africa program with a film screening and discussion of David Maybury-Lewis's "A Poor Man Shames Us All". The film explores the alternative views of wealth and society exhibited in the lives of tribal cultures. Viewers will be taken on a voyage to the jungles of Indonesia and the plains of Kenya, in an attempt to better understand various views of wealth and economic needs in different cultures and societies.
David Maybury-Lewis was an anthropologist who studied tribal societies and cultures around the globe. Through his observations of social customs, ceremonies, and kinship we can better understand tribal societies and cultures.
Come join in the viewing and discussion of this important film...
When: Thursday January 28, 6:00 – 8:30 PM
