Sun 10 Jun, 7 pm. In 2002 Joshua Safran, an orthodox Jew and land-use lawyer, was approached by fellow attorney Nadia Costa about some pro-bono work—would he like to help her free a battered woman who has been wrongfully imprisoned for over two decades? Safran saw the case as a chance to fulfill the Jewish prayer of matir asurim, freeing the imprisoned. The filmmakers and attorneys will attend the screening and participate in a Q&A afterwards. Co-Sponsors: Shalom Bayit, the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, and the Progressive Jewish Alliance. Sunday, June 10, 7:00pm $8 members, $10 public. 1414 Walnut Street, Berkeley, 94709.
