DAWN
Dir. Romed Wyder (95min, Switzerland/UK/Germany/Israel, 2014) 
Narrative

Two men wait through the night in British-controlled Palestine for dawn – and for death. One is a captured English Officer. The other is a young Israeli freedom fighter whose assignment is to kill the officer to avenge the British execution of a Jewish prisoner. Based on Eli Wiesel’s best-selling novel.

PANEL DISCUSSION
The film is followed by a panel discussion with Filmmaker Romed Wyder; Prof. Bruce Hoffman (Director of the Center for Peace and Security Sturdies, Georgetown University); and Prof. Amitai Etzioni (Director, Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies, George Washington University). Moderated by Prof. Walter Reich, Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Professor of International Affairs, Ethics and Human Behavior at The George Washington University.

Co-sponsored by the Embassy of Switzerland

Co-Presented by the Rabin Chair Forum of George Washington University
