The Bryn Mawr College and Haverford College (BiCo) chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, through its Instagram page (which now boasts 2,015 followers), is calling for a protest on Tuesday night (April 9) in front of the Bryn Mawr Film Institute (BMFI).
In conjunction with the Israeli Film Festival, BMFI will show one feature at 7:00 PM: the movie “The Child Within Me.”
Plot Summary from IMDB Yehuda Poliker, one of Israel’s musical giants – in a retrospective meeting of his own life – stares calmly into the camera, sometimes with longing, sometimes with regret, but mostly lovingly. He watches rare archival footage, some of which are never before seen family home-videos. At times, he joins in on the guitar, accompanying that same stuttering, insecure young man looking back at him from the screen, or his parents singing Greek songs, and sometimes, he just sits silently and reminisces. In conversation between then and now, in conversation with his friend for the past 40 years, Eti Aneta Segev, images from Poliker’s life join one another, while his touching music plays in the background. The images spark memories that transport us freely between the different junctures of his life.
Wow. Sorry to hear this. And I have to comment that clearly these students have some learning to do – like perhaps our Constitution? And Americans’ right to free speech?
