The Levys of Monticello

PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF LOCATION TO THE SEKACH BLDG., 6505 Sylvania Ave., Sylvania
Sunday, January 21
3 p.m.
Running time: 71 minutes
English

When Thomas Jefferson died in 1826, he left behind a mountain of personal debt, which forced his heirs to sell his beloved Monticello home and all its possessions. The Levys of Monticello documentary tells the little-known story of the Levy family, which owned and carefully preserved Monticello for nearly a century – far longer than Jefferson or his descendants. The remarkable story of the Levy family also intersects with the rise of antisemitism that runs throughout the course of American history.

Jerry’s Last Mission is a feature-length documentary on the story of Jerry Yellin, one of the last veterans from WWII, who enlisted to fight the Japanese after their attack on Pearl Harbor. Jerry returned home from the war as a decorated pilot and suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder for years. It was only when he found Transcendental Meditation® decades later that he began the road back to himself.

Jerry was again confronted with his decades-old fear and hatred 42 years after the war when his youngest son moved to Japan and married the daughter of a Kamikaze pilot. During the last decades of his life, Jerry dedicated his life to promote peace and understanding between different cultures.
