We invite you to two very special screenings and panel discussions with filmmakers, subjects of the films, and Stanford experts. In-person events.
Thursday, April 28, 8 pm to 10 pm
YOUTH V GOV
https://events.stanford.edu/event/camera_as_witness_presents_documentary_youth_v_gov
Stanford Medical School Li Ka Shing Center Building, Room LK130
291 Campus Drive
(110 min) US
Director: Christi Cooper Producer: Olivia Ahnemann
It is a story of America's youth taking on the world's most powerful government. In 2015, twenty-one young plaintiffs, ages 8 to 19, filed the lawsuit Juliana vs. United States, asserting a willful violation of their constitutional rights in creating our climate crisis. As leaders in the youth climate movement, they represent 10 states: Florida, Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Louisiana, and New York. These film characters encompass cultural, economic, and geographic diversity, and many come from marginalized communities, serving as beacons of hope for those who do not have a platform to share their own stories. They are African American, Indigenous, white, biracial, and LGBTQ, and their diversity speaks not only to the impacts of climate change, but to the inclusion required if we are to build a better and more just future together.
Please join us for a panel discussion with Mayor of Palo Alto Pat Burt, filmmakers Christi Cooper and Olivia Ahnemann, and subjects of the film Miko Vergun and Philip Gregory.

Stanford Medical School Li Ka Shing Center Building, Room LK130
291 Campus Drive
(72 min) Israel/US
Director/Producer: Dani Menkin Executive Producer: Nancy Spielberg
The story of a remarkable athlete who captured the spirit of a nation, and how he ultimately triumphed despite the odds. In the summer of 1976, Aulcie Perry was spotted by a scout for Maccabi Tel Aviv while playing basketball in Harlem, and was signed immediately. Just a year later, Perry, who took the Israeli basketball team to their first European championship, started dating supermodel Tami Ben Ami, converted to Judaism, and became one of Israel's biggest athletes. But not all was well behind the scenes, as he descended to drugs and jail time, before finally finding redemption - all this while searching for his biological daughter.
Please join us for a panel discussion with filmmaker Dani Menkin.
Moderated by Jasmina Bojic, Stanford Arts Camera as Witness Program Director and Founder of the international documentary film festival UNAFF.
