Walter Winchell and the Defeat of the German American Bund
1 PM LOS ANGELES • 4 PM NEW YORK
Walter Winchell, the newspaper columnist, radio commentator and television personality, pioneered the fast-paced, gossip-driven, politically charged journalism that dominates today. His on-air activism to his 50 million listeners during World War II helped to defeat the German American Bund, the US version of the Nazi party. While his post-war legacy is much more problematic, his enormously impactful wartime efforts are worthy of being remembered and celebrated.

Elie Wiesel — Soul on Fire
1 PM LOS ANGELES • 4 PM NEW YORK
Told largely through his own words and eloquent voice, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire seeks to penetrate to the heart of the known and unknown Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) — his passions, his conflicts and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust. With unique access to personal archives, original interviews and employing hand-painted animation, the film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor, writer, teacher and public figure.
Behind Enemy Lines: The True Story of a French Jewish Spy in Nazi Germany
11 AM LOS ANGELES • 2 PM NEW YORK
Chichinette: The Accidental Spy is an inspiring documentary about Marthe Cohn, a feisty French Jewish woman who joined the French Army during WWII after Hitler’s rise to power. After remaining silent for nearly 60 years, Marthe began sharing her extraordinary story of resistance—how she used her German accent and blonde hair to pose as a nurse, slipping behind enemy lines to gather critical intelligence on Nazi movements for Allied commanders. Her family had fled to the south of France, and one of her sisters was sent to Auschwitz. Marthe’s harrowing journey is told with reverence, and her irrepressible spirit fills the film with hope. She passed away in 2024 at the age of 105, having spent her later years speaking around the world and inspiring generations with her courage and resilience.
