Berlin '36 Oa Wrong Side of the Bus ® Reuniting the Rubins Theatres: WB 4/25 Theatres: WB 4/26 Theatres: WB 4/26, M 4/29, Flint 4/29 Germany, 2009, 100 minutes, German, with English subtitles Australia, 2009, 56 minutes, English UK, 2010, 97 minutes, English Sponsored by Barbara & Michael Kratchman Co-sponsored by the JCC Special Needs Department, JARC Sponsored by the Program for Holocaust Survivors & Families, a service of Jewish Senior Life Sponsored by Dulcie and Norman Rosenfeld* Co-sponsored by ORT America, Michigan Region Gretel Bergmann is a high jumper and one of Germany's best hopes for a gold medal in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Just one problem: She's Jewish. The United States - hearing that she is about to be excluded - threatens to boycott the international games. So the Nazis agree to let Gretel continue, but they also bring in a competitor, an athlete named Marie Ketteler, who seems to exemplify the German ideal. But Marie is by no means what she claims to be. Berlin '36 is a fictionalized account of an extraor- dinary true story of two Olympic hopefuls in Nazi Germany. Absolutely astonishing! Sidney Bloch, an internationally known professor and psychiatrist, is on a mission of redemption. He is preparing to head back to his home in South Africa for his 40th medical school reunion, but he is plagued by feelings of guilt for never speaking out against apartheid. After graduation in South Africa, Dr. Bloch left the country and now he is about to return for the first time. His son, Aaron, accompanies him and narrates this touching documentary that is truly about the road to forgiveness. 14 Dreamcoat My So-Called Enemy "It's just one BIG happy family...calamity." Timothy Spall and Honor Blackman lead this hilarious cast through the trials and tribulations of family! At their grandmother's request, four very different siblings come together after being estranged for years. Their father has dreams of a relaxing retirement, but that's put on hold when his mother uses some good, old-fashioned Jewish guilt to make the reunion happen. Maybe you'll feel a bit differently about your own family by the end of this film? 16 Standing Silent Theatres: WB 4/26 Theatres: WB 4/27 USA, 2010, 89 minutes, English, Hebrew and Arabic with English subtitles Sponsored by JCC of Greater Ann Arbor Theatres: WB 4/26 Canada, 2010, 31 minutes, English Sponsored by Barbara & Michael Kratchman Co-sponsored by the JCC Special Needs Department, JARC In 1980, a group of families in Ottawa, Canada, created Tamir, providing housing and social services in a Jewish environment, for adults with develop- mental disabilities.
