Tonight at 5:30 in the Student Union Theatre is the last film of the week, Tiger!

Presented by Professor Antúnez De Mayolo Kou, a film inspired by true events, the Latin American Fight Club presents relevant themes of masculinity and boys' education, while showing what it truly means to be a man. A group of male teenagers are sent to a boot camp called Tigueraje to become tough and fearless "Tigers", the expectation set by their parents. The camp's head coach, Alberto, decides it's time for his son, Pablo, to join the group. What Alberto doesn't realize is that Pablo is creating his own version of a tiger, one that challenges the values that his father stands for. Amidst the struggles of clashing masculinity beliefs, Pablo's self-discovery journey shines a light on hope and the possibility of redemption for the adults, too.

See you there!
