Fear is the Mind-Killer: Dune 10,191 AG
This committee will cover the first book of Dune and the two most recent movies, Dune: Part 1 (2021) and Dune: Part 2 (2024). The committee will start at the moment House Atreides lands on Arrakis, and delegates will represent members of House Atreides, the Fremen, the Bene Gesserit, and more. Delegates will have the opportunity to interact with major forces such as the Empire and House Harkonnen during the fight over Arrakis and its spice resources. We are so excited to take delegates on a journey through the galaxy, examining the inner workings of relations between the Houses, power over Spice, and the abilities of factions such as the Bene Gesserit and the Mentats. See you in February!
