Saint Martin’s University will welcome award-winning filmmaker Amy Benson to campus for a presentation of her documentary “Drawing the Tiger” as part of the Robert A. Harvie Social Justice Lecture Series.

Filmed over seven years, “Drawing the Tiger” presents an intimate portrait of a Nepali family struggling to survive after they lose their only educated child—a determined scholarship recipient—to suicide. “Drawing the Tiger” not only brings global development watchwords to life—less than a dollar a day, illiteracy, child marriage, migration—but also explores factors not often measured, such as self-esteem, faith, mental health and marital love.
