Last Flight Home
Film viewing followed by Q&A
Join us for an afternoon matinee viewing followed by a panel discussion featuring Rabbi Jason Mann, MD, Rabbi Sarah Rensin, and Rabbi Jason Weiner, PhD.
Here is the film’s official synopsis:
On an unremarkable suburban street, we find Eli Timoner in his final days and discover an extraordinary life, one filled with wild achievements, tragic loss and above all, enduring love from his incredibly close-knit family. Last Flight Home shares a heart-wrenching and stunning verité account of a family courageously facing both life and death.
This film premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and was presented at the 49th Telluride Film Festival. Click here to view the film’s trailer.
