She wouldn’t take off her boots

In Person at Virginia Somerville Sutton Theatre & Lobby at Well-Spring - Sunday, January 28 at 4:00 p.m.

Virtual Sunday, January 28 – Sunday, February 11

Our story shows one woman’s determination to sculpt the first Holocaust Memorial Monument in North Carolina commemorating the women and children of the Holocaust. We show her motivation, her drive, and the people that helped her dream become a reality. The film puts faces, names, and stories to what the monument represents. Survivors of the Holocaust do not live far away. They live here in Greensboro. They work with us. They are our neighbors. The film gives three of them an opportunity to tell their stories. One is the story of a boy who survived multiple concentration camps and the other is of two cousins hidden during the war by their brave and courageous mothers. The monument is named in honor of the cousins’ mothers. Join us as we start a movement to educate the next generation of the dangers when people are marked as “other.”

One of the best matchmakers in the Orthodox world sets up meetings between Moti and “the best of the best” among the ultra-Orthodox girls from Israel and abroad.

Although he meets with the “highest in demand” girls, Moti is drawn instead to the only girl whom he will never be permitted to marry, a Mizrahi girl from among his sister’s friends. Moti’s religious foundations are utterly shaken by this impossible situation, and he is forced to take an extreme step in order to succeed in bending the matchmaking system in favor of love.
