Description
This past January it appeared at the Sundance Film Festival. On Thursday, May 22 "The Wave"--a film based on Bay Area teacher Ron Jones' 1968 classroom experiment in fascism--will be screened for one night only at the JCC SF. "The Wave" (or "Die Welle"), a German feature film exploring the appeal and the dangers of fascism in a contemporary German town, was made by acclaimed director Dennis Gansel. It is being distributed world-wide except in the United States. It may be your only opportunity to view this important film. And following the movie the teacher and the students involved in this experiment 40 years ago will be interviewed on stage. These students will be speaking out about what really happened at their Palo Alto High School for the first time. It went largely unreported in the United States. The book version of "The Wave" has become a phenomena and has sold over 3 million copies around the world.More Info
