Temple Habonim's Annual Sunday-Night Summer Film Series

Temple Habonim proudly presents our Annual Sunday-Night Summer Film Series. Join us on Sunday, August 3rd at 7:30 pm for "Promises" - This film follows Israeli-American filmmaker B.Z. Goldberg as he meets with seven Palestinian children between the ages of 9 and 13, seeing the Middle East conflict through their eyes. Rather than focusing on specific political events, the film gives voice to these children, who, although living only 20 minutes apart, live in completely separate worlds. The most important aspect of this film is that it allows "ordinary" kids to develop natural bonds of affection by simply playing games together - bonds which go beyond the clutter of prejudices that they have heard from their parents and others around them.

The fill will be shown at Temple Habonim, 165 New Meadow Road, Barrington. The showing, which includes popcorn, is free and open to the community.
