Benedictine University Screens "Mulberry Child"

The Women’s Institute for Global Leadership at Benedictine University will feature a screening of the film “Mulberry Child” at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 22 in Rooms 102 and 103 of the Moser Center for Adult and Professional Studies at 1832 Centre Point Circle in Naperville. “Mulberry Child” is the heart-wrenching true story of a childhood in Communist China. Based on the memoirs of Jian Ping (Jennifer Hou Kwong) as well as interviews and exhaustive research, “Mulberry Child” is a sprawling family saga and an inspiring tale of resilience and determination, a coming of age story told through the eyes of an innocent child. Participants will watch the film, followed by a discussion with the author. The event is open to the Benedictine community and general public. General admission is $10 and refreshments will be served. To register, go to www.ben.edu/academic_programs/moser/womens_institute/non-academic.cfm.
