Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire

The Miami Jewish Film Festival is honored to take part in Holocaust Education Week, hosted by the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach, with a powerful and inspiring free community screening of MJFF 2025 Torchbearer Prize Winner Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire on Monday, November 3 at 7pm at the historic Miami Beach Bandshell. This unforgettable evening will feature acclaimed director Oren Rudavsky in attendance to discuss his remarkable, award-winning film.

With exclusive access to Elie Wiesel’s family and personal archives, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire presents an intimate portrait of the Nobel laureate whose words and actions transformed the global conversation about human rights and Holocaust remembrance. The film explores Wiesel’s journey from his childhood in Sighet, Romania—a once-thriving Jewish community devastated by the Holocaust—to his rise as a beacon of moral courage on the world stage. Through his own storytelling, the film delves into the passions and enduring teachings of a man who reminded us that asking the right questions can be more powerful than having all the answers.

Don’t miss this opportunity to honor Wiesel’s legacy, connect with our Jewish community, and be inspired by a story that continues to light the way forward. Admission is free and open to all—reserve your spot today and join us for an evening of remembrance, reflection, and inspiration.
