Description

JCC East Bay's free monthly Friday film series for all teens around the Bay! We're kicking off our teen program taster with a monthly free Friday film series! Join us as we dive into true stories from around the world, covering the past, present, and future. After the film, teens are welcome to join in group discussions over snacks*. Please note that registration is required and all teens must provide proof of vaccine prior to entering and remain masked. Light refreshments will be provided and consumed outside. We recommend warm layers and a reusable thermos to fill up on hot beverages post-film. 2/11: Forever Pure Beitar Jerusalem Football Club is the most popular and controversial soccer team in Israel. Forever Pure documents the 2012-13 season, when a secretive transfer deal by the club's owner brought two Muslim players from Chechnya. The deal inspired the most racist campaign in Israeli sport and sent the club spiraling out of control. Through one season we witness a team in crisis as power, money and politics provide a window into how racism is destroying the team and society from within. Upcoming Films: 3/11: Schmatta: Rags to Riches Together, we will take a closer look at the vibrant, unexpected history of the Garment District, which for many years was the heart and soul of Midtown Manhattan, but is now in danger of disappearing. For thousands of immigrants the garment industry was a path to their American Dream, but today most of those jobs are gone. A microcosm of the economic and social forces transforming our nation over the past one hundred years, "Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags" tells the story of this vanishing industry through the voices of the people who have experienced its highs and lows Questions?
