The Jewish Experience in "Reel Life"

 

During this stimulating lecture, Dr. Goodwin discusses films that reveal aspects of the lives of Jewish people--culturally, socially, politically, and economically.  Movies that are especially meaningful are discussed in depth: Fiddler on the Roof, The Mortal Storm, The Diary of Anne Frank, Schindler's List, and Gentleman's Agreement.  The audience is invited to share their knowledge of films with which they are familiar.  There is also a Part II to this talk, which can be booked separately.
