Thursday, August 3, 11am; Hart Theater

Narrative | 2023 | 105 min.
English, Hebrew (w/ subtitles) | USA, Israel
Director: Jake Paltrow

In this stunning, richly textured, thought-provoking drama, director Jake Paltrow (yes, Gwyneth’s brother and Blythe Danner and Bruce Paltrow’s son) explores how “ordinary people” can affect and be affected by momentous events. It is 1962 Israel where Adolph Eichmann is soon to be executed and where three unrelated ordinary Israelis – a 13-year-old Jewish Libyan immigrant, a police investigator for the prosecution, and Eichmann’s Jewish Moroccan prison guard – are about to not only witness history but also help make it.  Beautifully filmed in Israel and Ukraine and inspired by true events, June Zero has won raves at film festivals across the country.
