NAVON (Sinai’s initiative aimed at reaching those over 65 years of age) is sponsoring a full year film series entitled “The American Jewish Experience in Film.”

Our final film in the series will be The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, a 1974 Canadian comedy-drama film directed by Ted Kotcheff and starring Richard Dreyfuss. It is based on the 1959 novel of the same name by Mordecai Richler. Duddy Kravitz lives in the shadow of his brother, whom his father, Max, and his Uncle Benjy are helping to put through medical school. Seeking to rise above his family's poverty, Duddy aspires to purchase and develop lakefront land near the hotel resort he is working at in Quebec's Laurentian Mountains. But Duddy's quest to make something of himself reveals a harsh determination to do whatever he has to in order to make his dream a reality.

We'll meet in the PNK Learning Center for the screening and a discussion following. Drinks and popcorn will be served!
