Join AJWS for a Private Screening of
Ixcanul

Thursday, January 19, 2017
6:30 p.m. Light refreshments
7:00 p.m. Film screening
Hosted by
TI member,
Bea Wilderman at Temple Israel
Ixcanul (Volcano), Guatemala's first-ever Academy Awards entry, is a captivating film that explores the balance of tradition and modernity for indigenous women. Through hypnotically beautiful cinematography, we come to know 17-year-old María, a Mayan girl who is forced into an arranged marriage. When a shocking complication forces her to interact with the modern world, we learn just how little control she has over her own destiny.
Following the film, join
AJWS staff for a discussion about their work in Guatemala and how their global partners are working to address the issues in the film.
Space is limited. Please RSVP by
January 10
