Enemies, A Love Story

Enemies, A Love Story
February 2, 2012
Adaped from the Isaac Bashevis Singer novel about Holocast survivors coping with love and memory in postwar New York, acclaimed director Paul Mazursky joins forces with actors Ron Silver, Anjelica Huston and Lena Olin in this award-winning drama. Wed out of gratitude to the peasant who hid him from the Nazis, Herman Broder carries on a mad affair with a concentration camp survivor and miraculously finds that the wife he thought had died in the war is very much alive.
(Rated R)

Ahead of Time
February 9, 2012
For seven decades foreign correspondent and photojournalist Ruth Gruber didn't just report the news...she made it. In this multiple award-winning documentary by Bob Richman, Ms. Gruber's life is examined in full, including her dispatches from the Soviet Arctic, her work recording Holocaust refugees and her stunning reportage from the Palestine-bound ship Exodus in 1947.

The Infidel

The Infidel
February 16, 2012
Mahmud is a loving husband, doting father and admittedly "relaxed" Muslim. A normal guy living an everyday life. That is until a chance discovery turns his life upside down, throwing him into a full-scale identity crisis: it turns out he's adopted, and was actually born Jewish. This European hit is a hilarious feel-good story that will leave you roaring with laughter.  (Not Rated)

Jewish Soldiers in Blue and Gray

Jewish Soldiers in Blue & Gray
February 23, 2012
Brother against brother, Jew against Jew, 10,000 Jewish soldiers fought in the nation's deadliest war, in numbers proportionally higher than other American groups. This acclaimed documentary describes the allegiances during the War Between the States that split the Jewish community as deeply as it did the nation at large: some prominent Jews, including Jewish slave owners, cited the Torah to justify slavery, while others were leaders in the abolitionist movement or established their synagogues as stops on the Underground Railroad.
