EVENT NAME – Movies for Grownups: ‘Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire’!
FROM EVENT SITE – Experience this illuminating documentary about the man behind the searing memoir “Night”– 80 years after his family’s deportation and the wholesale slaughter of European Jewry.
Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald, we seek to understand the man behind Elie Wiesel’s searing and widely read memoir Night.
Told largely through his own words and eloquent voice, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire seeks to penetrate to the heart of the known and unknown Elie Wiesel, who died in 2016–his passions, his conflicts and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust.
With unique access to personal archives and original interviews and employing hand-painted animation, the film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor, writer, teacher, public figure and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
