Port Jefferson Documentary Series: For The Living

Decades later, 250 cyclists from 12 different countries traveled to Auschwitz and re-traced 84-year-old Marcel’s liberation path as a collective act of empathy called “Ride for the Living”, which was created by JCC Krakow.

Marcel’s dehumanizing Holocaust experience and the empathy demonstrated during “Ride for the Living” provide a stunning parallel for Humankind’s equally perilous journey between the two extremes of our nature: Dehumanization to Empathy. Darkness to Light.

Igniting the urgent conversation: When will we stop building monuments for the dead and get busy re-humanizing the living? When will we finally say NEVER AGAIN and truly mean it!

Co-director Tim Roper and Producer Lisa Effress will join us to take your questions after the film.
