Be the first to watch this amazing film, a week before it hits the theatres! THE LADY is the extraordinary story of Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, Michael Aris. It is also the story of the peaceful quest of the woman who is at the core of Burma's democracy movement. Despite distance, long separations, and a dangerously hostile regime, their love endures until the very end. A story of devotion and human understanding set against a backdrop of political turmoil that continues today, this is also a story of the peaceful quest of the woman who is at the core of Burma's democracy movement. THE LADY was written over a period of three years by Rebecca Frayn. Interviews with key figures in Aung San Suu kyi's entourage enabled her to reconstruct for the first time the true story of Burma's national heroine. Please RSVP here. Please feel free to bring your friends and family! Map to this event, please click here.

SPECIAL PREMIERE SCREENING: THE LADY
IN CONVERSATION WITH Tingjun Zhang and Alexandra Toh Mei-Ying of 
BOOK CLUB : SCENT OF THE GODS
The Scent of the Gods tells the enchanting, haunting story of a young girl's coming of age in Singapore during the tumultuous years of its formation as a nation. Eleven-year-old Su Yen bears witness to the secretive lives of "grown-ups" in her diasporic Chinese family and to the veiled threats in Southeast Asia during the Cold War years. From a child's limited perspective, the novel depicts the emerging awareness of sexuality in both its beauty and its consequences, especially for women. In the context of postcolonial politics, Fiona Cheong skillfully parallels the uncertainties of adolescence with the growing paranoia of a population kept on alert to communist infiltration. In luminous prose, the novel raises timely questions about safety, protection, and democracy--and what one has to give up to achieve them.[flash intro] [home] [about us] [gender issues] [make a donation] [be a member] [be a volunteer] [current projects] [upcoming events] [learn more] [contact us] [site map]
