Shocking video: the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival - Exposed

This two-part short film about the 2009 SF Jewish Film Festival speaks more eloquently than a 100 blog posts about what is wrong with the Film Festival and how important it is that organized Jewish community act to ensure that something like this never happens again under Federation auspices.

San Francisco Jewish Film Festival - Exposed (Part 2)

There are many shocking moments in this film.  To my mind, perhaps the most obscene is the treatment of the sole pro-Israel questioner, who was jeered, manhandled and bullied as he tried to, as some are fond of saying, speak truth to power.

  1. OMG. I'm posting this to my FB account. Shocking (though, sadly, not surprising). Thank you Jon Rothberg and company.
