BESA: The Promise
Executive Producer, Bill Morgan
Thurs, May 9 | 7 pm
 










 
BESA: The Promise is an award-winning documentary that presents a powerful human drama compounded by a devastating twist. An independent feature documentary, this film is about the Albanian Muslims who saved Jews during the Holocaust. Told through the images of photographer Norman Gershman - and through first person accounts by the rescuers themselves, the stories of these courageous Albanians are brought to life. BESA: The Promise is the last great untold story of World War II. It is a story that bridges generations and religions, uniting fathers and sons, Muslims and Jews.
 
Following the screening, the audience will have an opportunity to talk with the film's executive producer, Bill Morgan.
   
$8 NM / $5 M
