The Bronx Documentary Center family and RISC (Reporters Instructed in Saving Colleagues) are devastated by the loss of James Foley, who was killed this week in Syria by his captors. James had attended the RISC course at the BDC; he was a friend to many of us here.
On Sept. 6th at 8pm, the BDC will host a fundraiser to honor his memory. Rachel Beth Anderson and Tim Grucza, RISC colleagues of James, will show their film, First to Fall. All ticket sales will go to honoring James Foley's memory as his family finds appropriate.
ABOUT THE FILM
An intimate story of friendship, sacrifice and the madness of war. It bears witness to the irreversible transformation of two friends, Tarek and Hamid, and the price they pay for their conviction. Q&A with director Rachel Beth Anderson and co-director Tim Grucza. Moderated by The New York Times Deputy International Editor Michael Slackman.
Suggested donation $20, $10 for Bronx residents, children 18 and under free.
