Scenes from the Divide featuring a conversation with Milana Vayntrub & Nicole Krishtul

Can We Still Sit at the Same Table?: A screening of 'Scenes from the Divide' followed by a conversation with actress Milana Vayntrub, protagonist Nicole Krishtul, and director Alison Klayman.

Since Scenes from the Divide premiered this spring the conversations it captures continue to evolve and transform with our political landscape. They've moved from kitchen tables to ballot boxes, group chats, and holiday dinners.

Join us for a night of conversation with actor Milana Vayntrub, 'Scenes from the Divide' protagonist Nicole Krishtul, and director Alison Klayman. We'll watch the film together, then talk about what has changed since Zohran Mamdani's election, where the divide within the Jewish community stands as the midterms approach, and what it takes to keep talking across generations when the stakes feel this high.

What to expect:

7:00pm ET: Tune in to watch 'Scenes from the Divide'

7:32-8:15pm ET: A live conversation with Milana Vayntrub, Nicole Krishtul, and Alison Klayman on how the political landscape has shifted since the film was made, and what these conversations look like now in our families and communities
