Details:
the community is invited to the BC Forum at SBCC for a free screening of “The Final Inch,” a film featuring some of the people working to wipe out polio from the four countries where it remains. The evening will also include two guest speakers -- one a polio survivor and both participants in global immunization efforts -- as well as a photo exhibit from India.
The Rotaract Club of Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara City College’s Phi Theta Kappa honor society and the International Student Support Program at SBCC are partnering to host the event as part of International Week, and they’re hoping to raise money for the Polio Plus fund of Rotary International.
The event is free, but the hosts will have a bake sale to raise money for the Polio Plus program. There will also be an exclusive Santa Barbara showing of Images of India by photographer Joe Johnston. Johnston will contribute 25 percent of photo sales to Polio Plus.
