Movie Night at the Jackson Center: Nathan-ism

Nathan‑ism is a moving documentary that follows Nathan Hilu, a Jewish U.S. soldier assigned to guard Nazi war criminals during the Nuremberg Trials, and how those experiences shaped his life and art. Using a blend of animation, interviews, and Hilu’s distinctive outsider-art drawings, the film explores memory, trauma, and the power of personal testimony in bearing witness to history.

Join us after the screening for a post-movie discussion with filmmaker Elan Golod, who will share insights into the making of Nathan‑ism and the process of translating Hilu’s memories into film. Thanks to Rabbi Jessica Spitalnic Mates of Temple Beth El of Boca Raton, guests will also have the unique opportunity to view some of Nathan Hilu’s original artwork on display, offering a tangible connection to his extraordinary story.
