: CULTURE CORPS EVENT
Please join us in viewing the second film in this series, "Rang De Basanti"!
Five nonchalant young people are persuaded to act in a British documentary
film about Indian Independence. When their dear friend, an ace Indian Air

because they do not believe it was due, as the government said, to pilot
error. Afterwards, we will have a discussion on the film.
