Film Discussion

Three years ago we got a call from a film crew that was making a documentary in Philadelphia. Initially they were looking for a location, but then …

We were hoping to have a “real” screening at FRIEDA. While this is not possible, we will get together later this Spring when it is safe to do so, but for now, we would like to invite you to watch the documentary on March, 24 at 10/9c on PBS and join us for a discussion and Q&A with some of the “actors” and the director Michael Eric Hurtig on Friday, March 26 at 6 pm on zoom.

Duration: 90 minutes
Format: Zoom. The Zoom meeting ID will be emailed to confirmed registrations the day before the event.
Meeting ID: 832 5400 6411

We would like to remind you the following zoom etiquette:

Please sign-in 2 to 3 minutes early. Late-shows are disruptive for the group and may not be able to join.
As a mutual courtesy, we do ask that all participants have their camera on. No one will be allowed without their camera on.
Be mindful of other participants.
