Who Are the Marcuses? is Matthew Mishory’s feature documentary about a mysterious and unlikely pair of philanthropists, an unassuming Long Island couple and Holocaust refugees Lottie and Howard Marcus, whose half a billion-dollar gift to Ben-Gurion University in Israel—the single largest charitable donation to the State of Israel in its history—inspired peace and climate action through water technology. The year’s “great documentary”—Film Threat

Who Are the Marcuses? was directed by Matthew Mishory (Fioretta, Artur Schnabel: No Place of Exile); produced by Rubber Ring Films and Stone Canyon Entertainment’s Bradford Schlei (Swingers, Spun) and Alvaro Fernandez; executive produced by Rob Levine (Law & Order, Columbo), Marc Bennett (Shared Legacies), and Rhino Films’ Stephen Nemeth (Dogtown and the Z Boys, Climate Refugees, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas); photographed by Michael Marius Pessah (Joshua Tree, 1951; Smiley Face Killers); co-written by Golan Friedman; features an original score by legendary Israeli guitarist/singer David Broza; and was produced in Dolby Vision by Dolby’s Graef Allen. The film features Warren Buffett, Israeli President Isaac Herzog, historian Daniel Gordis, best-selling philosopher Micah Goodman, lawyer and genealogist E. Randol Schoenberg, author and activist Seth M. Siegel, and many more.

There will be a Q&A with director Matthew Mishory and others following the screening.
