Screams Before Silence, a powerful new documentary led by Sheryl Sandberg, captures first-person testimony from survivors, first responders, eyewitnesses, released hostages, forensic experts, and advocates. Their harrowing accounts reveal the uncompromising truth: that Hamas used rape, assault, and mutilation in a brutal rampage of gender-based violence. The world needs to know. We must bear witness and we must learn how to take action to prevent these heinous acts from happening again.
 
Join us for a screening of this important piece. A panel discussion will follow the film.
 
Please note: Screams Before Silence contains accounts of sexual violence against women. We encourage you to take care of your mental and emotional health; a mental health professional will be on-site, and attendees will be welcome to exit the room at any time.
