Movie Screening

O Jerusalem 125

Join us at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 1 at the Angelika Film Center in Mockingbird Station for a screening of the film "O Jerusalem," featuring Ian Holm, JJ Field, Maria Papas, Patrick Bruel and Said Taghamaoui. "O Jerusalem" meticulously re-creates the historic struggle surrounding the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. At the center of these events are two young, American friends - one Jewish, the other Arab. The film is told from the alternating viewpoints of the Jews, Arabs and Brits, all of whom collide in their fight for the control of Jerusalem. The screening is free for KERA members and a guest. Members must present their Member Rewards Card upon admission. Seating is first come, first served.
