Brock’s Department of History – along with the Posthumanism Reearch Institute, the Social Justice Research Institute, and the President’s Advisory Committee on Human Rights, Equity, and Decolonization – is co-sponsoring a showing of the documentary film Ghost in the Machine, a gripping examination of artificial intelligence that the 2026 Sundance Film Festival has called an “urgent technological horror story.”

The film is showing on Monday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m. at the Marilyn I. Walker Theatre in downtown St. Catharines. It’s free and open to the public. Don’t miss it!
