The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) of the ACLU-NM, in conjunction with the ACLU’s UNM chapter, is sponsoring screenings of two civil liberties related films.
On April 9, the HBO special If These Walls Could Talk will be shown. If These Walls Could Talk tells the stories of three women from three time periods in American history who experience abortions. After the movie, a discussion will be held featuring guest speakers represting both sides of the abortion debate.
Dirty Pictures, starring James Woods, tells the true story of a Cincinatti museum curator who was put on trial for displaying the sexually explicit photographs of artist Robert Maplethorpe. Dirty Pictures will be screened on April 30, and will be followed by a discussion.
Both films will be shown at 6:00 pm at the UNM Student Union Building in Ballroom A.
