Nearly 2,500 festivalgoers packed Cobb Energy Centre for the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival’s 20th anniversary Opening Night event, featuring the World Premiere of Shared Legacies: The African-American Jewish Civil Rights Alliance. The program featured a special musical performance by folk legend Peter Yarrow and the choirs of The Temple and Ebenezer Baptist Church, as well as an extraordinary post-film panel of Civil Rights era luminaries featuring Louis Gossett Jr., Martin Luther King III, and more.
