Post-film Happy Hour $5 (see below for details & RSVP)
 

 


Black Over White is part road trip, part examination of multiculturalism in Israel, through a close-up look at an Ethiopian concert tour by Israeli-Ethiopian-Yemenite world-beat band The Idan Raichel Project.   Bridge Over the Wadi documents a rocky year in the life of an Arab-Jewish primary school, a brave experiment in education that strives towards understanding and compromise.  The film celebrates the will of citizens who believe they must be the change they seek.  To watch the trailer, click here.

Post-film Happy Hour at A Bon Port*:
After the films, stay for conversations and an exclusive Happy Hour with the films’ directors, Barak and Tomer Heymann. Light Mediterranean appetizers and wine will be served.

6:30pm – 8:30
