SUMMARY:41st Buffalo International Jewish Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue\nDirector: Barry Avrich\nCanada 2025\, 95 mins\, English\n\nIn a harrowing real-life story that echoes Taken\, the feature documentary The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue follows retired Israeli general Noam Tibon\, who\, on October 7\, 2023\, received a desperate text from his son: terrorists had stormed his home\, and he\, his wife\, and their two young daughters feared for their lives. With no time to spare\, Noam and his wife\, Gali\, embarked on a ten-hour mission across a country under siege to save their family. Relying only on his instincts and military training\, Noam navigated ambushes\, roadblocks\, and a collapsing security system in a relentless race against time. Directed by acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich\, the film retraces every step of that day\, blending intimate firsthand testimony with the raw urgency of a survival thriller. Set against the backdrop of one of Israel’s darkest days\, The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue is both a gripping cinematic retelling of an extraordinary rescue and an unflinching look at the failures and resilience revealed on October 7. At its core\, it is a profoundly human story about courage\, family\, and the power of love in the face of unimaginable terror.\n\nThis film is sponsored by Judith Halpern\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:Author Christine Kuehn - Family of Spies
DESCRIPTION:Click here to Register!\n\n \nChristine Kuehn was cocooned in the sanctity of a quiet suburban life when a mysterious letter in 1994 pierced that bubble\, sending her on a thirty-year quest to discover the truth behind a horrendous family secret kept hidden for half a century. Following a career in journalism\, public relations\, and nonprofits\, Christine now lives is Maryland with her husband\, close to their three grown children. \n \nFamily of Spies:  \nA propul­sive\, nev­er-before-told sto­ry of one family’s shock­ing involve­ment as Nazi and Japan­ese spies dur­ing WWII and the piv­otal role they played in the bomb­ing of Pearl Har­bor. The Kuehns\, a once promi­nent Berlin fam­i­ly\, saw the rise of the Nazis as a way out of the hard times that had befall­en them. When the daugh­ter of the fam­i­ly\, Eberhard’s sis­ter and Christine’s Aunt Ruth\, met Nazi leader Joseph Goebbells at a par­ty\, the two hit it off\, and they had an affair. But Ruth had a secret — she was half Jew­ish\, and Goebbells found out. Rather than hav­ing Ruth killed\, Goebbels instead sent the entire Kuehn fam­i­ly to Hawaii\, to work as spies half a world away. There\, Christine’s grand­par­ents and her Aunt Ruth estab­lished an intri­cate spy oper­a­tion from their home\, and passed secrets to the Japan­ese\, lead­ing to the dev­as­tat­ing attack on Pearl Har­bor. \nJump­ing back and forth from Chris­tine dis­cov­er­ing her family’s secret to the untold past of spies in Ger­many\, Japan and Hawaii\, Fam­i­ly of Spies is fast-paced his­to­ry at its finest\, and will rewrite the nar­ra­tive of Decem­ber 7\, 1941.
