鈥淩un Carlos Run,鈥� a documentary about Carlos Ibarra who ran 3,000 miles from Brooklyn,
Ny. to his hometown Costa Mesa, Calif., will be screening on Thursday, February 9
at 6 p.m., in Stubbs 100 on the 网曝门 campus.听
The screening is a joint effort with the 网曝门 Communication program and the 网曝门 Speech
and Debate Forum鈥檚 Traveling Scholar series. Established in 2009 by Dr. Lesli Pace,
the series brings guest lecturers, scholars, and artists to the 网曝门 campus.听 The screening
is a specific component of the communication advocacy concentration in the communication
program.
Ibarra, along with a team of filmmakers, produced a series of episodes that documented
his story as well as the stories of the people he met along his expedition. His website,
runcarlosrun.org, states that this isn鈥檛 just his story, 鈥渂ut the story of everyone
who calls America their home.鈥�
聽Currently, Ibarra is traveling across the country, bringing his film to different
businesses, festivals, philanthropic organizations, and universities. The Run Carlos
Run team says they hope to inspire other individuals to chase their dream just as
Ibarra has.
Following the screening there will be a meet and greet with Ibarra and the filmmakers
and a short question and answer segment.
This event is open to students, faculty, and the community and admission is free.听
