May 4, 2012
Time:7:30-9:30 p.m.
Description:Join the UT Objectivism Society for a showing of "We the Living," a film based on Ayn Rand's first full-length novel and set during the Russian Revolution. Originally filmed in Italy in 1942, it was thought to be lost for decades until the negatives were discovered in the 1980s, brought to America, re-edited and reissued.

The time is the Russian Revolution (which Rand lived through). The place is a country burdened with fear - the midnight knock at the door, the bread hidden against famine, the haunted eyes of the fleeing, the grublike fat of the appeasers and oppressors. In a bitter struggle of the individual against the collective, three people stand forth with the mark of the unconquered in their bearing. In this tensely dramatic story, Rand shows what the theories of communism mean in practice.
