Screen the film at home and join us for a virtual Q&A with Doron Paz and Yoav Paz (writers/directors.)

We are thrilled to share Film@IIJS with you at this time. The Q&A will not have any screenings in real time; rather a link to stream the film from home will be made available to you prior to the Q&A session and will only be available until the Q&A event. If you have any questions, please email iijs@columbia.edu.

[Please note: at this time, only residents of the United States will be able to stream the film.]

In 1945, a group of Holocaust survivors plans to poison the German water system to kill 6 million Germans in revenge. Led by Vilna partisan (and later, Israeli poet) Abba Kovner, and including soldiers from the British Army's Jewish Brigade and the Haganah, this desperate group of survivors will ultimately be forced to decide between shedding more blood in Europe or pivoting towards a new future in Israel. Based on a true story and new scholarship by Dina Porat, the Chief Historian of Yad Vashem. (109 min)
