7:30 pm: The Charlotte Jewish Film Festival Presents Iron Ladies (Preview Screening).

In the 1970s, the Soviet Union increased their persecution of "Refusenik" Jews, banning them from immigrating to Israel. Sparking international outrage, a network of young Jewish women took to the streets to protest against this policy, all the while they were secretly delivering aid to those in need by sneaking it into the country. This remarkable true story showcases how the power of the people can bring down the might of an authoritarian government. Told by the women themselves, this is an unmissable documentary.

Location: Sam Lerner Center for Cultural Arts
