BlacKkKlansman: Virtual Film Discussion with Ron Stallworth, Charlie Wachtel, and David Rabinowitz

In the 1970s, as the struggle for civil rights in America raged on, Ron Stallworth became the first African-American detective in the Colorado Springs Police Department. Eager to make a name for himself and a difference in the community, Ron infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan. Join an online panel discussion with Ron Stallworth and screenwriters Charlie Wachtel and David Rabinowitz. The two East Brunswick natives adapted Stallworth’s 2014 memoir, Black Klansman, for the big screen, ultimately winning the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. The panel will include special guest Professor Enobong (Anna) Branch, the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement at Rutgers University.

This free event is presented by the Rutgers Jewish Film Festival and the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life.

A film screening is not included in the event. Advance registration is required.
