New York City: Screening of "LUMO"

New York, NY- On May 31 at 5pm, Tribeca Cinemas will feature a LUMO film screening, discussion panel, and reception, with the rare opportunity to hear panelists speak about their experiences in the Democratic Republic of Congo and their hopes for peace in a country that has been brought to its knees in war for the last 15 years.
