Watch the best independent documentaries before they come to television! Illinois Public Media (WILL radio.tv.online) and the Independent Television Series (ITVS) present Community Cinema, a monthly screening series of independent documentaries followed by a panel discussion. This series is presented the first Tuesday of every month in the Knight Auditorium. Guest scholars and members of the campus and local communities will interact with the audience in an hour-long discussion after the film. Then watch the film again later in the month on WILL-TV!

The Graduates/Los Graduados
Pressing issues in education today are explored through the eyes of a diverse array of Latino and Latina adolescents from across the United States in this eye-opening documentary on the challenges facing both the students and their families. The Girls Hour of this two-hour series is part of the Women and Girls Lead(external link) campaign.

This event is supported by the Illinois Public Media/Spurlock Museum Community Cinema Partnership.
