Ahead of Time

JFilm and Hillel JUC proudly present "Ahead of Time" with a special appearance by Ruth Gruber! At 20, Ruth Gruber became the youngest Ph.D. in the world. But that was just the beginning: The Brooklyn-born journalist experienced some of the biggest stories of the 20th century, including the rise of Hitler and the opening of the Soviet Arctic. Ruth was asked by the Interior Department to escort 1000 Holocaust refugees to Oswego, NY, and she covered the Exodus in 1947 as the ship attempted to enter Palestine. Rarely seen archival footage and interviews tell the story of this remarkable woman. Ruth Gruber is an inspiration to all. Following the screening, Ruth Gruber and the film's Executive Producer Patti Kenner will speak. Sunday, May 20, 2012, 2:00pm Southside Works Cinema 425 Cinema Drive, 15203 Adults: $10 Students and Seniors: $5
