PRESS RELEASE

The Jewish people have been persecuted, hated, and mocked for centuries, but they have endured. They have fought back. And they are NOT going anywhere.

PJFM’s first ever Jewish Resilience Film and Media Series explores the unwavering fortitude of the Jewish people through cinema and digital media. In an age of rising antisemitism across the globe on social media, in politics, and elsewhere, this new series celebrates the strength and survival of the Jewish people throughout history, from the Golden Age to post-October 7th.

The stories presented in the program, featuring everyday heroes and more, stand as beacons of hope for the future of the Jews and inspire everyone, regardless of identity, to stand up in the face of adversity.
