Oct. 14 at 2 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.: The Soul of India. From the director of the award winning film, 10 Questions to Ask the Dalai Lama comes his latest film, The Soul of India. To make this film, Rick Ray spent six months touring the country, from its low backwaters to heights over 18,000 feet, through its myriad of cultures, even weathering earthquakes and riots in order to piece together a unique tapestry of this nearly indescribable country. The film visits familiar sites like the Taj Mahal, the palaces and forts of Rajasthan, the Himalayas, and the River Ganges. But it also explores an India that few visitors see—a land of villages and inner cities, a country in which reside the hopes and dreams of one-sixth of the earth’s population. Come glimpse the kaleidoscope of color, the encyclopedia of experience that is India, you’ll probably agree that you have discovered the most colorful and fascinating country on earth. Presented with Rick Ray.

Tickets cost $12 for Geographical Society members, $15 non-members, and $7.50 students.
