A Frakin' Good Lecture

"Can television narratives influence or frame audience perceptions of good and evil, right and wrong?  Has 24 inured us to torture? Did Battlestar Galactica succeed in showing us that "we" could be "them"? 

Panelists Howard Gordon, executive producer of 24; Dalia Hashad, director of Amnesty International USA’s program focusing on domestic human rights; Ronald D. Moore, executive producer of Battlestar Galactica; and writer Kamran Pasha of Sleeper Cell will join moderator Anthea Butler, visiting professor at Harvard Divinity School, for a conversation on television’s responses to 9/11 and whether they have shaped audience perceptions of good and evil."

Refreshments will be served following the FREE lecture/discussion at USC's Annenberg Auditorium - tomorrow night at 7pm.

Thx to FWJ reader Meredith for the heads up.
