SFF-Why Do They Hate Us
SFF-Why Do They Hate Us
Producer/director Alexandre Amiel was struck when shortly after the Charlie Hebdo attack, his 11-year-old son asked, “Why do they hate us Jews?” For Amiel, a veteran Canal+ reporter and founder of the news production company Camera Subjective, this was a call to action. His answer was to produce a series on racism in France, which was aired on French television and we present part of his trilogy relating to Anti-Semitism in France, with poignant interviews with Amiel’s family from Morocco and the perennial Jewish question, “when is it too dangerous for Jews to remain here?”
Director Alexandre Amiel will be present for a Q and A following the screening.
