Not far from Timbuktu, a peaceful cattleman and his family are suddenly faced with Islamic fundamentalist law, and their crisis becomes a focal point for a passionate examination of tolerance and intolerance.

The New Media Film Series is dedicated to showcasing a selection of films that have contributed to our understanding of cinema’s achievements, and signal directions for its future. Initiated and sponsored by the Department of New Media, various scholars from the University of Lethbridge will introduce and screen their choices for films that advance the art form. Please join us twice a month as we explore together the parameters of various masterful cinematic accomplishments. Sponsored by the University of Lethbridge's Department of New Media and the Lethbridge Public Library.
