Join JCC Greater Boston for a special screening of A Feminist Lens: The Art and Activism of Photographer Joan Roth. The film is an intimate portrait of internationally acclaimed photographer and photojournalist Joan Roth, whose work has spanned over five decades. From Gloria Steinem and Bella Abzug in the 70s to the Women’s March in 2017, from the plight of homeless women to the Jews of Ethiopia and the diverse lives of Jewish women globally, Roth uses her lens to affect change for women who wouldn’t otherwise be seen. Following the film, stay for an insightful panel discussion featuring Joan along with the filmmakers. Enjoy refreshments with an opportunity to meet the artists. Moderated by Lisa Joffe, Director of the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute.

In partnership with Lev Women’s Leadership Circle, Hadassah-Brandeis Institute, Hadassah Boston, Jewish Women’s Archive, and Keshet
