Contagion is a film that remarkably reminds us of the Ebola virus in West Africa. In this film, a lethal airborne virus threatens the worldwide community. There are challenges containing the outbreak and ethical dilemmas that demand difficult and provocative measures to find a cure. With four Academy Award winners and two nominees, this “brilliant film [is]… serious, precise, frightening, and emotionally enveloping.” (Denby, The New Yorker)
The Center for Christian Bioethics will show the film on Wednesday, October 22 and Thursday, October 23 as part of the Ethics in Great Films series. Dr. Richard Hart will report on the latest Adventist involvement with the Ebola crisis after the film on Wednesday, October 22.
The film screening will be held from 6-8 pm in Centennial Complex, Amphitheater 3113 on October 22 and 23. For more information, contact the Office for Christian Bioethics at (909) 558-4956.
