The History Department is hosting Global Lens 2010, featuring 11 films from countries including Iran, Mexico and Vietnam, beginning Nov. 10.

The Global Film Initiative, which promotes cross-cultural understanding through the medium of cinema, is launching The Global Lens Partner Program; a new, nationwide initiative to support community and education-based film exhibition partnerships, according to globalfilm.org.

The series can be seen in more than 35 locations across the U.S. and Canada. Since its launch, it has created a platform for outstanding storytelling and opened a window into our diverse world.
