We are thrilled to present a special movie night featuring the documentary "Q" by Jude Chehab. This event will be a unique opportunity to engage with powerful storytelling and explore profound themes within the film. "Q" delves into the story of Jude Chehab's mother, Hiba, and her journey within a closed-off, all-female religious sect in Syria. Through this lens, the documentary examines the complexities of family dynamics and personal devotion.
As part of the event, we will be providing complimentary popcorn and drinks for attendees. Additionally, there will be a Q&A session with Jude Chehab herself, offering insights into the filmmaking process, the story behind "Q," and more.
