SAPIRO V. FORD: THE JEW WHO SUED HENRY FORD

Sapiro v Ford: THE JEW WHO SUED HENRY FORD Southwest Premiere Director: Gaylen Ross Film Trailer: https://youtu.be/He0SppgJK84?si=flRSfqFV96j33I-w This fascinating film tells the riveting true story of Aaron Sapiro, a young Jewish lawyer who took on one of America’s most powerful men - and most notorious antisemites - Henry Ford. In a David-versus-Goliath showdown, Sapiro forced the industrial titan to back down, issue an apology, and shutter his hate-filled newspaper, leaving a legacy that resonates today. As antisemitism rises and the struggle to balance free speech with protection against hate continues, Sapiro v. Ford examines the enduring question: how can societies confront power, prejudice, and propaganda while upholding justice? Executive Producer Carol King and Director Gaylen Ross will be in attendance for a Q&A post-screening.
