Join us for a special screening of “Counted Out - Math is Power,” a thought-provoking film by acclaimed director Vicki Abeles. This compelling documentary delves into the transformative role of mathematics in shaping individual empowerment and societal change.
In the 21st century—driven by technology, data and algorithms—math holds the power to shape our world.
“Counted Out” examines some of the most pressing crises of our time—political polarization, racial and economic inequality, the global pandemic, and climate change—through an unexpected lens: mathematics.
