Fordham’s Jewish Studies Presents: A Screening of “Witness Theater”

This Yom HaShoah, please join Fordham’s Jewish studies program and the Jewish Student Organization for a special screening of Witness Theater: The Film. This documentary gives the viewer a look behind the scenes into a unique program led by a drama therapist, pairing Holocaust survivors with high school students in Brooklyn. The Witness Theater workshop they participate in culminates in the performance of a play based on survivor stories. This moving documentary, currently shown at film festivals across the country, is about the power of connection, friendship, and love between generations. It is also about healing, to the extent possible, in the context of the most brutal genocide in human history.
