Film screening — Torn: The Israel-Palestine Poster War on New York City Streets
Film screening — Torn: The Israel-Palestine Poster War on New York City Streets
Join us for another powerful installment of our Highlighting Healers and Hope Series and our first-ever documentary film screening at JCP. The film weaves together interviews with hostage family members and the artists behind the KIDNAPPED poster campaign which began soon after 10/7. The film studies the tensions brought about by the campaign and explores the question of how a distant war can fracture the social fabric in a city so far away from the conflict.
Following the film, director Nim Shapira will be in conversation with Rabbi Deena about his this impactful work, and there will also be time for Q&A.
This event is recommended for adults and teenagers. This event is free for JCP members and costs $18/family for non-members.
