St. Louis Jewish Film Festival - October 8

We end our 10/7 retrospective with a searing indictment of higher education in America, and the anti-Semitism fomented by progressive activists in politics, entertainment, and the educational elite. How and why are so many of our college-age students and Gen Z in general leaning into anti-Jewish hatred? Where is this worldview coming from? How is it being disseminated? What organizations are propagating this viewpoint, and who’s providing the money behind this indoctrination? This outstanding documentary provides a much-needed awakening not just in the Jewish community, but in the entire United States, if not the world.
