                                                 http://wrc.ucr.edu/Programs/White+Ribbon+Campaign.htm
Movie and Dinner Night with Q&A
Date:  October 20
Time:  4 ­ 6:30 PM
Place:  UCR HUB 355
Participants will have the opportunity to view Take My Eyes by Iciar 
Bollain and starring Laia Marull, Luis Tosar, Candela Pena, and Rosa Marie 
Sara. A winner of seven Goya Awards, the movie compellingly explores the 
subject of domestic violence while simultaneously avoiding simplistic 
characterizations. A Spanish film, it depicts a real life example of an 
intimate relationship that turns abusive, as it shows the complexities of 
human relationships around the issue of domestic violence. Following pizza 
and refreshments, Liz Mondragon, PsyD at the Counseling Center; and Sarah 
Pemberton, LCSW in Student Affairs; will facilitate discussion.

RAD: Riverside Against Domestic Violence
Date:  October 22
Time:  8:30 ­ 10:30 PM
Place:  The UCR Barn
RAD is a vehicle for enabling students and others to speak out against 
domestic or relationship violence. Included in the activity are the spoken 
word, poetry, and stories. For those who want their stories heard, but 
choose not to read or relay them, there is the option of having someone 
else read or relay them. Contact Giselle Sorial at 
<mailto:gsori002 at student.ucr.edu>gsori002 at student.ucr.edu for specific 
information.

                                                                           One 
Bad Night
Date:  October 27
Time:  4 – 6 PM
Place:  UCR HUB 302 North
The evening will include a documentary about the life of Denny: a young man 
and Iraq veteran who overcomes domestic violence that he experienced as a 
child. As One Bad Night is especially thought-provoking, Denny will discuss 
the effects of domestic violence and lead a question and answer period 
after the film concludes.

Law Enforcement Town Hall
Date:  October 27
Time:  6:30 – 8:30 PM
Place:  UCR HUB 302 North
In a town hall forum, a judge, District Attorney, police officers, and

panelists charge in the forum is to bring the audience up to date regarding 
their roles and activities around the DV queries. To submit questions now,

Bruising for Besos
Date:  October 28
Time:  6 – 8 PM
Place:  UCR HUB 302 North
Bruising for Besos is a one-woman show by Chicana performer Adelina

sexual assault. Not only does the workshop cover what victims will need 
from the Center on Deafness Inland Empire (CODIE), but it avails a Sign 
Language and Voice Interpreter. For more information, please contact Gloria

Life Without Parole
Date:  October 29
Time:  4 – 6 PM
Place:  UCR HUB 302 North
Life Without Parole is a play based on the dissertation research of a UCR 
alumnus. The research, published in the book, Convicted Survivors, has been

the killing of their batterers. The play is performed by a mix of student 
and staff/community actors.
