DESCRIPTION:Wednesday, January 28, 7:30 pm\n\nGREENSBORO: CLOSER TO THE 
 TRUTH\n\nPresented by The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival in association 
 with The San Francisco Black Film Festival and The Progressive Jewish 
 Alliance \n\nDirected by Adam Zucker\nUSA, 2007, 83 min.\n \nIn November of 
 1979, a multiracial group of union organizers staged an anti-Klan rally in 
 Greensboro, North Carolina. Shortly after the rally commenced, the KKK 
 drove up, pulled out rifles and automatic weapons, and opened fire on the 
 demonstrators. Five protesters were killed (including two Jewish organizers 
 from the North) in what became known as the Greensboro Massacre. 
 Twenty-five years later, director Adam Zucker introduces us to survivors of 
 the tragedy on both sides from the African-American Communist 
 leader-turned-minister who advocates for forgiveness, to the Imperial 
 Wizard of the Klan who asserts that the bullets that day were “guided by 
 God,” to the widowed survivor who demands to know why police were 
 mysteriously absent from the rally that day and the Klansmen acquitted of 
 charges. GREENSBORO: CLOSER TO THE TRUTH follows these characters as they 
 converge in 2004, many of them for the first time since the massacre, for 
 the first Truth and Reconciliation Commission ever held in the U.S. 
 \n\nDirector Adam Zucker expertly weaves together original interviews with 
 archival film —including eerie internal footage of an official KKK 
 meeting and disturbing television documentation of the gruesome massacre. 
 GREENSBORO: CLOSER TO THE TRUTH screened at over 25 festivals, and won the 
 2007 Audience Award for Best Feature at the Rome International Film 
 Festival.\n\nRECEPTION AFTER SCREENING\n\nPresented at: \nScreening Room of
