Sunday film series back for a fifth year

The fifth annual Sunday film series at Temple Habonim features three award-winning films. All will be shown at the temple, 165 New Meadow Road in Barrington. 

Sunday, May 1 at 3 p.m., “Aftermath”

One of the most controversial Polish films ever made, “Aftermath” is a harrowing mystery thriller. Franek & Jozek Kalina, sons of a poor farmer, are brothers from a small village in central Poland. Franek immigrates to the United States in the 1980s, without explanation, and cuts all ties with his family. Only when Jozek’s wife unexpectedly arrives in the U.S. does Franek finally return to his homeland. As Franek and Jozek struggle to rebuild their relationship, they are drawn into a gothic tale of intrigue. The two brothers eventually uncover a dark secret that forces them to confront the history of their family and their hometown.

Sunday, May 15 at 3 p.m., “As Seen Through These Eyes”

As Maya Angelou narrates this powerful documentary, she reveals the story of a brave group of people who fought Hitler with the only weapons they had: charcoal, pencil stubs, shreds of paper and memories etched in their minds. These artists took their fate into their own hands to make a compelling statement about the human spirit, enduring against unimaginable odds.

Sunday, May 22 at 3 p.m., To Be Announced
