Film: The Christophers

As we approach the High Holy Days and the season of reflection and return, join us for this film that explores family dynamics, reputation, and legacy.

The Christophers is about a master painter who is dying without having completed a legendary series of unfinished portraits, and the young artist hired by the painter’s children to “complete” the works so they can be auctioned for millions of dollars.
