Stranger than fiction film

Over the last couple of weeks my e-mail box has been full of a string related to paying an international speaker via a wire transfer. The speaker is from Haiti, and due to situations down there, a wire is preferable to a check.

Today, I received copies of the final paperwork I need to pay the taxes on the transaction. Idly paging through the reams of paper, I ran across the details of the program for which we are flying the guest, at our expense, from Haiti to Milwaukee and back.

The program?

A panel discussion, lecture and the presentation of the film "Les Amours d'un Zombi".

We're flying in a speaker to talk about a zombie apocalypse film?

Actually, I jest. Based on what I've been able to dig up on-line, the movie casts the lead zombie as a victim of exploitation. The speaker is the director.

These kind of programs must be why the president is so insistent every American is entitled to a college education.
