Join us for the opening event in our new film series, At The Edge of Hope, with a special screening of 77 STEPS, Tuesday September 30 @ 7PM. We’re thrilled to welcome filmmaker, Ibtisam Mara’ana, who is traveling from Israel to be with us for this evening.

77 STEPS follows Mara’ana as she leaves her childhood home in Fureidis, an Arab village near Haifa, to build a new life in Tel Aviv. There she meets Jonathan, a Jewish immigrant from Montreal, and their romance becomes the heart of the story. What begins as a tender cross-cultural love affair soon collides with larger realities, unfolding against the backdrop of the 2009 Gaza war. More than a decade later, the film resonates with striking immediacy, exploring the fragile, complicated spaces where love, identity, and politics converge.

Seating is limited. Admission is free for the campus community, but please RSVP if you’d like a complimentary seat.

The screening takes place at Phoenix Theatres State Wayne 35310 W Michigan Ave, Wayne, MI 48184
