SUMMARY:Once Upon a Time at 55th and Hoover
DESCRIPTION:<p style="text-align: left;">RCC is pleased to anounce the screening of <a href="http://www.55thandhooverfilm.info/" data-url="http://www.55thandhooverfilm.info/"><em>Once Upon a Time at 55th and Hoover</em></a>, a short documentary by Andrés Enrique-Arias.<!--break--></p><p style="text-align: left;">This documentary tells the story of the Spanish-speaking Sephardic Jews from the island of Rhodes that arrived in Los Angeles in the first half of the 20th century and established a community in the area around 55th St and Hoover, in South Central Los Angeles. Through compelling interviews with two immigrants born in Rhodes in the 1910s (quite possibly the last recorded testimony from this generation) we learn how the Sephardim of Rhodes were torn between assimilating into mainstream American culture and maintaining their identity.</p><p>The director of the film will be present and will lead the discussion.</p><p>Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.</p><p><strong>Sponsor(s): </strong><a href="http://www.bu.edu/rs/" data-url="http://www.bu.edu/rs/">Jewish Cultural Endowment at Boston University and the Department of Romance Studies at Boston University</a>.</p><p><strong>Contact(s):</strong> <a href="/55thandhooverfilm@gmail.com" data-url="55thandhooverfilm@gmail.com">Andrés Enrique-Arias</a></p>
