Nov. 4, 2022 – Collin College’s Auteur Film Series continues its 2022-23 selections with “Shattered Glass,” on Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Plano Campus Living Legends Conference Center. The film series showings are free and open to the public.
“Shattered Glass” is based on the true story of Stephen Glass, an associate editor at The New Republic who fabricated information in dozens of stories before his deception was uncovered by another reporter trying to verify sources and facts. The movie touches on the need for journalists to provide truthful reporting and the resulting feelings of betrayal when that trust is broken.
The Auteur Film Series presents classic, foreign, and independent films with brief educational introductions before the screenings and faculty-led panel discussions afterward. The film series is designed to challenge the viewer’s intellect and encourage conversations that engage students in civil discourse. This year’s film series theme is journalism.
The films will all be shown at 7 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes before each film begins, and seating is limited. Some material may not be suitable for all audiences. The Living Legends Conference Center is located on Plano Campus at 2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway in Plano.
