The Women’s Center is organizing a silent protest of a Union Activities Board-sponsored film showing of “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” and question and answer session with the film’s creator, Tucker Max.

A Facebook-led initiative to e-mail UAB Films Committee Chair Will Lamb asking him to reconsider showing the movie will culminate today with a meeting between members of UAB and the Women’s Center.

Chair of the Issues and Idea Board Matt Woodward has filed with the Student Organization Resource Center to have booths from the Women’s Center and other concerned groups on Harris Field during the time the movie is scheduled to be shown in case the event isn’t cancelled.

“It would be good for student organizations to have a space outside to talk about it too,” Woodward said.

Woodward said he didn’t know much about the movie until the head of the sociology department showed him the film’s trailer.

“I was kind of dissapointed that that’s something we’re going to bring,” Woodward said. “it didn’t sit well with me.”

Woodward said it wasn’t known yet whether the event would go on as planned or if it would be cancelled.

“They’re still discussing if they’re still going to bring it,” Woodward said.

Lamb, upon being contacted about the controversy, declined to be interviewed.
