Alumni Giving Back is pleased to invite you to an upcoming Film Forum session focusing on how art can aid in integration. 

Diego Torres (Lic&MBA 88), Lecturer in the Department of Business Policy at ESADE, will present his new book, El arte de integrar (see abstract), which describes international social inclusion projects based on culture and art. After the presentation, Mr. Torres will join us in a brief discussion moderated by Alfred Vernis (Lic&MBA 88), profesor del Departamento de Política de Empresa and manager research for the ESADE Social Enterprise Knowledge Network.

We will be showing partially Favela Rising, a film that expresses the struggle for freedom through music. The protagonist, a former drug dealer from a Rio de Janeiro slum, becomes a social revolutionary in the city’s most feared neighbourhood. With the help of music and dance, he brings the community together to directly fight the bands of armed adolescents who, with the tacit permission of the police, control Rio’s drug trade.
