Details

Join us Monday, October 3rd, for a screening of the extraordinary documentary, Faya Dayi, and a post-screening discussion with the filmmaker, Jessica Beshir.

The Criterion Collection describes Faya Dayi as "[a] sublime work of personal vision... a hypnotic documentary immersion in the world of Ethiopia's Oromo and Harari communities, places where one commodity -- khat, a euphoria-inducing plant once prized for its supposedly mystical properties--- holds sway over the rituals and rhythms of everyday life."
