Synopsis:

When a professor with controversial views arrives to speak at a university conference, he is met by his student chaperon. Her assigned task—getting him to the auditorium without incident—is disrupted by some unexpected difficulty. In working out the situation, the resolution of the professor’s plight is placed in the hands of a most unlikely problem solver, who finds his own means of expressing his viewpoints on the professor’s vile politics. Honorarium examines in a compelling way what is and is not required of us in social situations involving people whose views may be very different from our own. The director is a local Texas filmmaker. Featuring our own Alex Sole from the
Austin Jewish Community.
