“The Gringo in Mananaland” will be presented Monday, April 7, 7:30 p.m., Recital Hall, Center for the Arts. Halleck won two Rockefeller Media Fellowships for this film, which is based upon the stereotypes of Latin Americans in U.S. films.

Halleck coordinated “Bars and Stripes,” a twelve-part series on the prison industrial complex in the United States. She is one of the founders of the Independent Media Center Movement, which has been responsible for the development of alternative media centers in countless cities worldwide. A board member of the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers, Halleck is an active member of the MacBride Roundtable on International Communication, and has served as co-director of the Child-Made Film Symposium, a fifteen-year assessment of media by youth throughout the world.
