Let’s Talk about the Middle East, April 5.

Free film showing Mustang and discussion led by Dr. Leena Dallasheh at the Richard’s Goat Miniplex (401 I Street, Arcata). Thursday, April 5, 7 p.m. Set deep in rural Anatolia, Turkey, this is a story of five teenage sisters, orphaned at a young age and raised by relatives. As they begin to explore their womanhood, they face a conservative society. Attempting to control them and guarantee suitable marriages, their family makes them prisoners in their homes, but that doesn’t stop hope and rebellious aspirations.
