Screening of As Seen Through These Eye with Director Hilary Helstein


Friday, June 27, 2025 - 12:10 AM PDT

Join USC Shoah Foundation, SFISA, and the United University Church as it presents the award winning documentary As Seen Through These Eyes.

Narrated by Maya Angelou, this film reveals the story of a brave group of people who fought Hitler with the only weapons they had: charcoal, pencil stubs, shreds of paper and memories etched in their minds. It is the culmination of over a decade of work and over 250 interviews.

As Seen Through These Eyes is a co-proudction with the Sundance Channel.
