WV Premiere of Paper Clips and West Bank Story
Sunday, June 19th, at 7 PM, Father’s Day
The Men’s Club will be cooking outside the B’Nai Jacob Synagogue at 6 PM,
preparing kosher hot dogs.
The first film will be Ari Sandel’s hilarious new musical, “West Bank
Story.”
The website describes the 22 minute short this way –
“A musical comedy set in the fast-paced, fast-food world of competing
falalfel stands in the West Bank...
David, an Israeli soldier, falls in love with the beautiful Palestinian cashier, Fatima,
despite the animosity between their families' dueling restaurants.
Can the couple's love withstand a 2000 year old conflict and their families'
desire to control the future of the chic pea in the Middle East?”
Following “West Bank Story” will be the WV premiere
of a major documentary that won many awards last year –
“Paper Clips.”
This film is about a coal mining town in Tennessee
whose middle school decided to study the Holocaust
by collecting 11 million paper clips –
6 million for the Jews that died and
5 million for the Nazis’ other victims.
They met Holocaust survivors and their world was changed.
