RWU Fall 2013 Film/Speaker Series on the Jewish Experience

Roger Williams University will present two short films on the Jewish experience.
Reporting on the Times: The New York Times and the Holocaust (2012)
explores how The New York Times handled reports of the Holocaust during World War II. It also explores why The
Times, a Jewish-owned newspaper, buried more than 1,000 articles in its back pages. In the second film,
A Universal Language (2013),
Canadian comic Mark Breslin, along with six fellow top comics, travel
to the Holy Land on a cultural exchange journey, bringing
Canadian comedy to Israel and the Palestinian Territories for Jews and
Arabs. Along the way they meet with local Palestinian and Israeli
comics, and they try to bridge years of conflict through a common ground
every individual has, the power of laughter.
The event is free and open to the public; no tickets are required.
This event is a collaboration of the FLICKERS: Rhode Island International Film Festival, the Helene and Bertram Bernhardt Foundation,
and Roger Williams University.
