A documentary about friendship and survival.About this Event
Join us for a screening of The Bridgeplayers, a contemplative documentary about friendship and perseverance. The film centers on four women who survived Auschwitz as teenagers then emigrated to Sweden, where their enduring friendship began. Over the past 80 years, they have seen war and change, but through it all still gathered to play bridge. As the rise of far-right politics and war bring back harrowing memories of their youth, the four friends have different ways of reckoning their past with the present. This thoughtful and moving documentary provides a meaningful perspective on today's global climate through the eyes of holocaust survivors.
