Boston University Students for Justice in Palestine hosted a memorial event where members wrote the names of the more than 41,000 people killed in Gaza this past year since the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
The program includes a selection of Israeli movies released in 2020, like the feature film “Sky Raiders” and documentaries “Four Mothers,” “Rain in Her Eyes” and “Rockfour: The Time Machine.” Live conversations with directors, actors and subjects will accompany each film.
The Metcalf Ballroom filled with commotion as a crowd of alumni, students and other Boston University community members conversed as they found their chairs. The audience fell silent once Jonathan Alpeyrie, a war photojournalist, and Bonnie Timmermann, a producer and casting director, appeared onstage.
After participating in a 3-week summer course aimed at helping refugees in Lebanon, students in the Arvind and Nandlal Chandan Kilachand Honors College shared their experiences and discussed the results of their work at a presentation Thursday.
