Two films. Two remarkable women. One afternoon at VIJFF.

In Protest follows Moran Zer Katzenstein, a women’s-rights activist navigating a rapidly changing Israel as political upheaval, October 7, and war reshape both her activism and the world around her.

Labors of Love reaches back a century to Henrietta Szold — founder of Hadassah, healthcare pioneer, and a leader whose work with Youth Aliyah helped thousands of Jewish youth escape N**i persecution.

Their circumstances could hardly be more different. But seen together, their stories speak to something shared: the decision to step forward, take responsibility, and act.
