Arts and Humanities invites everyone to the next film in the “Through a Different Lens” series Thursday, Nov. 10, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Trutter Center.

“To Live” (1994)  follows the life of one family in China, from the heady days of gambling dens in the 1940s to the austere hardship of the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. And through all of their fierce struggles with fate, all of the political twists and turns they endure, their hope is basically summed up by the heroine, a wife who loses wealth and position and children, and who says, “All I ask is a quiet life together.”

The film series is hosted by Ashley Green, Ph.D., assistant professor of English; Paul Van Heuklom, professor of English; and Joseph Hoff, Ph.D., professor of Spanish. There is no charge to attend.
