DESCRIPTION:The film screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Marjorie 
 Wright.\n\n“There is one topic in America today which few will fund, no 
 network will broadcast, and distributors are afraid to take on. This is not 
 because it is baseless, frivolous or ephemeral. While gross violations of 
 the Geneva Conventions, political repression, economic strangulation, 
 racism, Apartheid and creeping genocide can be exposed across the globe, 
 this particular example cannot be honestly or deeply addressed inside the 
 U.S. This is a subject which involves 25% of all refugees in the world, 
 which fuels terrorism across the world, which is the longest running 
 injustice of the 20th century. Yet fear and censorship, both internal and 
 external, concurrent with economic imperialism rule the discussion. Despite 
 the routine torture, imprisonment and murder of children, institutionalized 
 power enforces silence. Filmmakers are allowed to skirt the issues, with 
 lyrical or bittersweet films about the refugee experience, detaching it 
 from the ongoing reality or micro-level protest films, which extol 
 non-violent activism without ever dealing with the oppressor involved. And 
 that oppressor is applauded for media projects which trivialize with humor, 
 falsely equalize victim and victimizer, or excuse the perpetrator by 
 personalizing him, while making the victim nameless, faceless and cut from 
 cardboard. This is the subject of Jews Step Forward.” — Marjorie
