The 3 pm showing has SOLD OUT!

Due to its popularity, a second and final screening has been added: same date, same location, 2:00 pm.

Oren Rudavsky, the award-winning director who is joining us from New York, was given unprecedented access to the Wiesel family to make this film, with direct, intimate collaboration from his widow, Marion, and son, Elisha. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear from the director and ask your questions.

Experience the most intimate portrait ever made of Elie Wiesel. With exclusive access to his family and told through his own voice, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire moves beyond the headlines to reveal the husband, father, and teacher.

Featuring stunning painted animation and rare archival footage, this film traces his path from a childhood in the Holocaust to his life in France and his emergence as a global humanitarian. It is a deeply moving celebration of a soul who transformed his own survival into a message of hope for the world.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see how the world changed Wiesel, and how he, in turn, changed the world for the better.
