Author, historian and documentary filmmaker Sami Shalom Chetrit presents the film he co-directed with Eli Hamo, "The Black Panthers (of Israel) Speak." After the screening, Chetrit will review the Mizrahi narrative, discussing the uprooting of Jewish communities throughout the Middle East and North Africa who either emigrated to Israel or other countries of choice. Garrett Nada talks about Mizrahi music and how it has become a sub-culture on the Israeli pop music scene. Moderated by Jordan Elgrably of Levantine Cultural Center.
