Film Screening - Ben Gurion: Epilogue
Monday, February 6^{th @ 6:00 pm}
Loew Auditorium

Join us for a screening of a fascinating new documentary film about David Ben Gurion, Israel's founder and first prime minister.  The film is based on a 1968 interview with Ben Gurion that was never aired, and provides new perspective on the history of Israel and the broader Middle East.  Dartmouth is screening the film concurrent with its US premier, so this is an event that you do not want to miss.  A faculty discussion will follow, moderated by Nadav Samin, Senior Lecturer in History.
