Please join us for the last screening of the year this Friday at 3:20PM. "Who Cares?" is a film shot in 20 different locations in a short span of just 40 days, the film highlights the lives of people all around who are changing the world through social entrepreneurship. From a Canadian educator teaching empathy to children to a Brazilian priest who became a banker, the theme is clear: everyone can change the world. Should be very interesting!
