Details

The Center for Global Engagement and School of Pharmacy present a showing of "Kupenda." On the coast of Kenya, where people impacted by disability are often shunned and viewed as cursed, these three determined teenagers set out to challenge their community’s long-held stigma and climb Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro.

Filmmaker Philip Knowlton will take questions after the screening.
