Commemorating October 7, 2023 – Part 1 – Documentary Screening
Commemorating October 7, 2023 – Part 1 – Documentary Screening
October 6 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Torn, a new documentary by Israeli-born, New York-based filmmaker Nimrod Shapira delves into the controversy surrounding the “Kidnapped from Israel” poster campaign, a grassroots effort to raise awareness about the 240 hostages taken by Hamas. Torn explores the motivations of those who put up and tear down the posters in and around New York City, unraveling the complexities of this intense proxy battle, fought thousands of miles from the actual conflict.
A panel discussion will follow the screening with filmmaker Nimrod Shapira and participants from the film: artist Elisha Fine, creators of the Kidnapped poster Nitzan Mintz and Dede Bandaid, and activists Nina Mogilnik, Julia Simon, and Alana Zeitchik.
