Date: March 06 Time: 1pm Location: LA 115 Description: The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is enormously rich in natural resources
such as copper, gold, diamonds, and uranium. However, these valuable minerals are
extracted by foreign multinational companies, who benefit more from them than the
local people. Additionally, the DRC is embroiled in a conflict with militias from
neighboring Rwanda in its eastern region, a war that has claimed millions of lives
and persists despite international mediation between the parties at war. In this presentation,
Jupuy N. Kukembila will provide an overview of the DRC, its people, and its vast mineral
wealth. He will also explore the underlying causes of the conflict and the role of
the international community in perpetuating the war.

Description:
Three Seconds with English subtitles is an 2017 Russian sport drama film about the controversial
victory of the Soviet national basketball over the US Olympic team, ending their 63-game
winning streak, at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. The U.S. team lost the basketball
championship for the first time in 36 years. The final moments of the game have become
one of the most controversial events in Olympic history. With play tied, the score
table horn sounded during a second free throw attempt that put the U.S. ahead by one.
But the Soviets claimed they had called for a time out before the basket and confusion
ensued. The clock was set back by three seconds twice in a row and the Russians finally
prevailed at the very last. The U.S. protested, but a jury decided in the USSR’s favor
and Team USA voted unanimously to refuse its silver medals. The Soviet players were
treated as heroes at home.
