RESISTANCE: Film Discussion with Jesse Eisenberg
Wednesday, July 15 | 7:00 PM | Free
Long before he rose to international fame as a mime, Marcel Marceau put his fledgling career as an artist on hold to spirit Jewish children out of Nazi-occupied France. Watch the extraordinary new film Resistance about that little-known chapter in Marceau’s life, and then join our discussion with the film’s star, Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network), director and screenwriter Jonathan Jakubowicz, and actress Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones).
NOTE: A screening of the film is not included in the event.
Advanced registration is required by Wednesday, July 15, at 3:00 PM.
