Jewish Federation in the Heart of NJ, in partnership with the Two River Theater & Indie Street Film Festival, presents a very special morning with Oscar-Winning Co-Writer of The BlackKkLansman, David Rabinowitz.

The film by visionary filmmaker Spike Lee, is based on the autobiographical book "Black Klansman," and is a true story following an African-American detective who infiltrates and exposes the Ku Klux Klan in 1970s Colorado. NJ Native, David Rabinowitz co-wrote the screen play that won an Academy Award for Best Writing Adapted Screen Play, among many other awards and nominations. 

Rabinowitz will engage in a live pre-film discussion with audience members at Two River Theater in Red Bank, NJ starting at 10:30am followed by a screening of the BlacKkKsman at 11:30am.

“We are beyond thrilled to have David Rabinowitz as part of the Indie Street Film Festival this year and very grateful to the Jewish Federation for making it all possible! David’s personal success story and willingness to share his knowledge will make this event extremely inspiring for all in attendance, especially fellow New Jersey filmmakers," says Indie Street Film Festival Artistic Director, Jay Webb.
