is a Documentary Film about Rusyns  Jerry Chanda, a member of the faculty of William Paterson University, and Maria Silvestri, will show this documentary film about the people of a Rusyn village in northern Romania who were relocated to the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia after World War II.  The film focuses on the recollections of members of the community as they reminisce about an unusual character named “Jakub.”  The film is notable for its beautiful camera work and shows aspects of Rusyn life at the time.  Mr. Chanda and Ms. Silvestri will lead a discussion of the film afterwards.
