Join us as we kick off the 2019 Mayerson JCC Jewish & Israeli Film Festival!

Celebrate the start of this incredible festival at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center with a screening of An Act of Defiance. In this riveting historical drama, political activists (including Nelson Mandela and his inner circle of Black and Jewish supporters) face a possible death sentence for conspiracy to commit sabotage after they are arrested by the apartheid South African government during a raid in the town of Rivonia during the summer of 1963. In partnership with the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center as they celebrate Mandela 100 with their exhibit “Mandela: The Journey to Ubuntu”, on display through March 1, 2019
