24 Days tells the true story of the 2006 abduction of young, Jewish, Parisian Ilan Halimi by a suburban gang who, believing all Jews are wealthy, demanded a huge ransom. A very timely film in light of the recent terror in Paris.

The Triad Jewish Film Festival, now in its 14th season, brings together international film buffs with an interest in Jewish culture.

Triad Jewish Film Festival Director of Outreach & Education Rachel Wolf, and TJFF Chair Sarah Malino and are working harder than ever to make sure there's something for everyone. New to the Festival this year is the first TJFF Kids' Classic screening of the animated film An American Tail at Geeksboro Coffeehouse, and a Sneak Preview showing of the powerful Swiss film by Igaal Nadam titled Brothers.

The Festival opens on February 7th with 24 Days. All of the films will be shown at the Regal Greensboro Grande Stadium 16 at the Friendly Center. The Sneak Preview showing of Brothers on January 29th will take place at Beth David Synagogue, and the first TJFF Kids' Classic screening of An American Tail on February 8th will take place at Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema. 

Rachel and Sarah spoke with David Ford. They share more about the films Brothers, 24 Days, The Green Prince, and Steven Spielberg's first animated film An American Tail.
