The End of Medicine exposes the link between our treatment of animals and emerging health threats such as pandemics and antimicrobial resistance.

Film Sponsorship - Blind Ambition
Thursday, October 27, 8 p.m. at the Al Whittle Theatre
Having escaped starvation and tyranny in their homeland of Zimbabwe, four refugees have conquered the odds to become South Africa’s top sommeliers. Driven by relentless optimism, a passion for their craft, and unshakeable national pride, they form Zimbabwe’s first-ever wine tasting team and set their sights on the coveted title of “World Wine-Tasting Champions”. From the moment they arrive in France to compete, this team of mavericks turns an establishment of privilege and tradition on its head.
