Cinemagoers transported by screening of The Narrow Bridge 

Over a 100 people joined Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin, alongside director Esther Takac following the screening of her movie The Narrow Bridge. The movie follows the courageous stories of four members of The Parents Circle Families Forum, including profiling Rami and Bassam’s stories.  The audience enjoyed the opportunity to hear more about their experiences in the discussion moderated by Jo Kalowski. 

They also spoke to students at Emanuel School and Moriah College earlier in the day, with robust question and answer sessions.
