Abe Film Screening and Director's Talkback on January 17, 2021 from 2:00-3:00 pm EST

You’re invited to watch the recently released film, Abe, and participate in a Zoom panel discussion with film director, Fernando Grostein Andrade, and Palestinian/American screenwriters and film producers. The story focuses on twelve-year old Abe (Avraham/Ibrahim), the child of a Jewish mother and Muslim father (Israeli and Palestinian background).  Abe is torn by his family’s fighting over cultural and political issues during every family meal. Follow Abe as he goes on a culinary journey to find himself and familial peace, using food to bring all sides of his family together. For more detailed information, please read this press kit.

We’ll provide you with a link to watch the film ahead of time (please watch prior to January 14th). Then, join us on January 17th for a live Zoom event where you’ll have the opportunity to learn from Abe’s director, producers, screenwriters and meet other women from across the Sisterhood. Once you register on Eventbrite, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to view the film and a Zoom link for Sunday Jan. 17th’s live event.
