Jews Defending Jews
Award-winning local filmmaker David Herman traces the proud history of UK Jewish defence groups dating back to the 1930s. His documentary will be followed by a live interview with Dr Dave Rich, a leading expert on antisemitism, who will draw from his book Everyday Hate: How Antisemitism is Built into Our World – and How You Can Change It. All proceeds from ticket sales will be split between the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, an initiative focusing on the hostages who are still being held by Hamas; and Safeheart, who provide mental health services and support to the survivors of the 7 October attacks.

The Dark Lady of DNA: The Story of Rosalind Franklin
Jewish scientist Rosalind Franklin was a key figure in the discovery of the structure of DNA, but her work is often overlooked, partly due to the opposition she faced from a senior colleague, but also her premature death. This talk reviews her life and career, looking especially at her work on DNA, which paved the way for modern-day genetic medicine.
