The series currently is the only venue in Grand Forks screening award-winning independent films from contemporary film makers from around the world, a news release said. This year, Global Visions is working with the UND Great Conversation series by screening two films (Oct. 19 and Nov. 2) related to humanitarian work carried out by Doctor’s Without Borders in conjunction with Dr. James Orbinski’s visit to UND.
