THE PASSENGERS: A Desperate Journey Home
Sunday, Feb. 19   
Directed by Ryan S. Porush | USA/Ethiopia |  2019 | Documentary | English | 72 minutes

The Passengers tells the story of the final community of Ethiopian Jews and its elongated struggle to immigrate to Israel. The documentary follows the unlikely journey of two best friends who represent their abandoned community on a fateful trip in America, where they wrestle with homesickness, the pressures of a grassroots advocacy campaign, and the thorny politics surrounding the Zionist ideal. NOTE: The screening will be followed by a Q & A with filmmaker, Ryan Porush, & David Elcott of the Wagner School of Public Service at NYU (via Zoom)

THE LEVYS OF MONTICELLO
Sunday, March 12 
Directed by Steven Pressman | USA | 2022 | Documentary | English | 71 Minutes 

When Thomas Jefferson died in 1826, he left behind a mountain of personal debt, which forced his heirs to sell his beloved Monticello home and all of its possessions. The Levys of Monticello is a documentary film that tells the little-known story of the Levy family, which owned and carefully preserved Monticello for nearly a century – far longer than Jefferson or his descendants. The remarkable story of the Levy family also intersects with the rise of antisemitism that runs throughout the course of American history.
