Join us for a free public screening of the film "Ayn Rand - A Sense of
Life" March 3rd, 2009 at the University of Texas Belmont Hall (BEL 328)
at 7:30 PM. Associate Producer Jeff Britting will be on hand to answer
questions after the screening.
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersberg, Russia. She escaped to
America in 1926 amidst the rise of Soviet Communism. She remained
in the United States for the rest of her life, where she became a much
respected author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. The themes
of freedom and individualism were to be her life's passion, and would
win her a devoted following among readers. Her books continue to sell
over 300,000 copies each year. The film uses interviews with friends
and colleagues, family photos, clips of her speaking, and great
moments from the films she wrote to portray a complex, passionate
person with the brains to articulate her ideals and the guts to stand up
for them.
This event is sponsored by the UT Objectivism Society. Special Thanks
to the Ayn Rand Institute.
