Film, Television and Interactive Media at Brandeis

04/15/2016

In front of a capacity crowd in Wasserman Cinematheque at Brandeis University on March 6, 2016, Kerry Washington and University Professor Anita Hill talked about the HBO film "Confirmation," which tells the story of the 1991 Supreme Court nomination hearings for Clarence Thomas. Before a riveted nation, Hill testified that Thomas had sexually harassed her while she worked for him at the Department of Education and later at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The conversation at Brandeis touched on the hearings and issues of race, gender and sexual harassment 25 years later.

The event was organized by Alice Kelikian, associate professor of history and chair of the Program in Film, Television and Interactive Media at Brandeis.
