ONLINE FILM DISCUSSION:
Saratoga Jewish Community Arts and Temple Sinai, with a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York, presents a Zoomdiscussion of the classic film Do the Right Thing on October 25at 7p.m. The film explores how racial inequality drives conflict in a predominantly African American community on the hottest day of the summer. It does not provide answers to the problems it exposes. Rather, the filmreflects back to its audience their own perspectives on prejudice and compliance. The film was made as the result of provocations, and so it in turn provokes. It reacts to white supremacy and paternalism with a justified rage, drawing attention to systemically racist institutions and the injustices they produce; injustices that still exist today. A panel discussion on Do the Right Thing is scheduled for October 25, 7:00p.m. Preregistration is required by calling (518) 584-8730option 2or sjca. sjcf@gmail.com to receive the Zoom website information.
