The Arab Spring. Climate change. The economic crisis. As the world around us evolves, it naturally influences the stories we tell, both fact and fiction -- and in turn, as artists, comedians, filmmakers and journal- ists reflect on the issues of the day, their work has the potential to shape society and alter the course of history. Come join our discussion about the iterative impact that art, media and entertainment have on the way we see the world, lead our lives, make choices, and interact with one another on both a personal and global scale.
