Natalie Portman’s masterful, dramatic biography of Amos Oz's youth, set against the backdrop of the end of the British Mandate for Palestine and the early years of the State of Israel. The film details the young man's beginnings as a writer, while examining what happens when the stories we tell become the stories we live.

10:15 a.m. - 11:45 p.m. 90 minutes. This 2013 docudrama tells a remarkable true tale of survival: In 1942, 38 men, women and children slide down a muddy holein the ground - seeking refuge from the Shoah above - into a pitch-black underground world where no human had gone before. Against all odds, they survived, but this would not be their last time experiencing “the cave.”

3:45 - 5:45 p.m. 120 minutes. This 2016 English language blockbuster, starringRachel Weisz, recounts Deborah Lipstadt's legal battle for historical truth against David Irving, who accused her in an English court of law of libel when she declared him a Holocaust denier. In the British legal system, a charge of Defamation shifts the burden of proof to the accused, and therefore it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust occurred.

6:15 - 6:45 p.m. 30 minutes. One of the most vivid depictions of the horrors of Nazi Death Camps. Filmed in 1955, it combines new color and black and white footage with black and white newsreels, footage shot by the victorious allies, and still shots, to tell the story not only of the camps, but to portray the horror of man's brutal inhumanity.(French, with English subtitles)
