North American Premiere

An Evening with Richard Trank

Directed by Richard Trank

US | 100 minutes | 2015

English and Hebrew with English subtitles

Academy Award-winning director Richard Trank presents the North American Premiere of Our Boys, a heart-affecting documentary which examines the events surrounding the kidnapping and murder of Gilad Shaar, Naftali Fraenkel, and Eyal Yifrach by Hamas terrorists in the summer of 2014 in Israel. The parents of each boy recall their short lives and how this tragedy has impacted them. Arab affairs analyst for Israeli TV Ehud Yaari and author Yossi Klein Halevi discuss why the kidnapping and murder of the boys so dramatically galvanized Israel. Our Boys is an emotionally poignant and insightful film that also looks at how events during and after the Gaza war have led to the greatest resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe since the defeat of the Nazis in 1945.
