The Motorcycle Diaries: Movie about Dr. Che Guevara

The Motorcycle Diaries
Where: Videology
When: 7pm
In case you haven't seen it, the 2004 film The Motorcycle Diaries is based on the memoirs of young Ernesto "Che" Guevara (here played by Gael García Bernal), who, along with his friend Alberto Granado, traveled across South America by motorcycle in 1952. During the expedition they were indelibly transformed by the impoverished peoples they encountered; the journey formed the basis for Guevara's later efforts to foment Marxist revolutions across Latin America. An RSVP is requested for this free screening in Brooklyn.

“On the Shoulders of Giants: Newton Revealed” Jan 7 at 6:30 PM
by William Dunham

Meet the great Sir Isaac Newton, as revealed through a lifetime of collaboration and communication. William Dunham, who delves into both math and its history, uses Newton’s own words to expose the man behind the math. From his earliest known letter, through exchanges with Leibniz, Locke, and others, to his most-quoted passage about standing on the shoulders of giants, Newton comes to life at his best … and his worst.
