[su_spacer size="10"] VENUE: Golden Scene Cinema Date: Sunday, 8 November Time: 4:15pm Tickets: HKD 110 - Students/Seniors HKD 80   [su_button url=" target="blank" background="#D5C57 desc="" title="Ticketing"]Tickets[/su_button][su_spacer size="10"] SPONSORED SUPPORTED by [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text] SYNOPSIS: The story of a young French ultra-Orthodox woman and a divorced Italian farmer who both long to break free. Even though she is deeply unhappy and desperate to leave the faith, Esther has accompanied her father on their annual trip to Southern Italy to harvest etrogim kosher lemons for the religious holiday of Sukkot. Elio, the non-Jewish owner of the farm, is grateful for their visit as it helps the farm financially. Alla Vita is a film that understands the power of subtlety. It isn't flashy or melodramatic, nor is it interested in undermining those who choose to live a life of devout faith. Instead, it's much more driven by its characters' desire for a life that is truly meant for them.

Through this organization, she established the region’s modern healthcare system, built on a mandate to treat Arabs and Jews equally. Later, she spearheaded Youth Aliyah, an operation that rescued 11,000 Jewish children from Nazi Europe. This heartfelt documentary, directed by Peabody award-winner, Abby Ginzberg, brings long-overdue recognition to Szold, offering a thought-provoking look at a woman who reshaped history through compassion and an unwavering belief in the power of humanity [su_spacer size="20"][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] CREDITS: Director: Abby Ginzberg Producer: Abby Ginzberg[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

When Franco’s regime seals the border to Jews fleeing Nazi-occupied France, Grau faces a life-altering decision: to defy his superiors and risk everything to save those desperate for freedom. With the quiet courage of a determined villager and a daring French smuggler, Grau embarks on a perilous mission that threatens not only his own life but also the safety of his wife and their community. Their clandestine crusade to shepherd refugees across treacherous mountain passes reopens old wounds from the Spanish Civil War—turning personal scars into a powerful act of resistance. Tense, heartfelt, and beautifully human, this story illuminates a forgotten chapter of history where ordinary people chose bravery over silence.
