** Cocaine Unwrapped
------------------------------------------------------------
Friday, Nov. 30: This film tells the story of cocaine: coca farmers in Colombia, drug mules in Ecuadorian prisons, cocaine factories in the Bolivian jungle, dealers on the streets of Mexico, law enforcement officials on the streets of Baltimore – and the everyday consumers around the dinner tables of the West.  It’s a story of politics, death, economic devastation and human suffering, and explores realistic alternative to the war on drugs.  Front line reportage, exclusive access to the political leaders of Latin America, revealing interviews with drug czars – watch this and you will never thing the same about cocaine and the war on drugs again.

** The Catholic Church and World Development Since 1945
------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, Dec. 4: The Roman Catholic Church is a major player in global development. The Church is at the center of an international network of schools, hospitals, relief agencies and community initiatives that contribute to education, health and welfare worldwide. But the scope of that contribution—and the mix of collaboration and tensions with governments and development organizations which it fosters—remain poorly understood. Robert Calderisi, a former director of the World Bank, will address the impact of the Catholic Church on economic and social progress in Africa, Asia and Latin America. His new book Healing the Nations: The Catholic Church and World Development will be published by Yale University Press in September 2013. Sponsored by the Berkley Center, the Georgetown Jesuit Community and the Global Human Development Program. 12pm, Berkley Center.
