Labor Film Series In 2020 young filmmaker David Siev returned with a camera to his rural hometown of Bad Axe, Michigan to be with his parents and sisters during the Covid-19 lockdown. The result is this award-winning intimate documentary of his multi-racial family’s struggles to sustain their “classy casual” restaurant and remain safe during the pandemic, a wave of anti-Asian hatred, and local backlash against Black Lives Matter protests.

Join us for a conversation about photographer Judy Glickman Lauder's powerful portraits featured in the exhibition Resistance and Rescue: Denmark and the Holocaust, now on display in the museum's Gallery Obscura. In the early 1990s, photographer Judy Glickman Lauder took portraits of Danes who had protected or rescued Jews and of Jews who were rescued. The stories accompanying each photograph convey the power of moral courage in confronting hate and atrocities.
