On February 23rd, AFF will host a screening and panel discussion of the new feature length film Remember This, starring Academy Award nominee, David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck, Lincoln, Nomadland), directed by Derek Goldman and Jeff Hutchens. The film chronicles the life of Jan Karski, who, as a courier in the Polish Underground, escaped from a Gestapo prison camp and risked his life to carry the first eyewitness reports of the Nazi death camps to President Roosevelt and the Western world.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM: “Karski and ‘Remember This’ serve as a crucial reminder of society’s duty to bear witness, especially whenever and wherever it would seem impossible to raise one’s voice above the din of indifference.” - The Los Angeles Times.
