Chagrin Documentary Film Festival: The Lone Samaritan

Come to the Chagrin Falls Branch Library for a special viewing and discussion of *the Lone Samaritan*, one of the films presented at the 2011 Chagrin Documentary Film Festival. This 50 minute Israel international film was directed by Barak Heymann. The Samaritans, a tiny religious sect, are dying out. But they still maintain extremely harsh rules against assimilation: if you leave the fold, you and your family are as good as dead. An Israeli actress and her three sisters became ‘Jews’ and are excommunicated by their 700 person community. Afterward we will welcome a special guest speaker to lead a discussion of the film and topic. Registration requested is requested for this free showing (440-247-3556).
