EPHM is pleased to partner with the Jewish Federation of Greater El Paso as part of their Jewish Film Festival to present the screening of "A Bag of Marbles" Sunday - January 12, 2020 2:00 PM Alamo Drafthouse Cinema 250 E. Montecillo Blvd. - El Paso, TX 79912 A Bag of Marbles (French with English subtitles)

Left to fend for themselves in Nazi-occupied France, two Jewish brothers must rely on their courage and cunning to escape Nazi barbarism and avoid capture, in this lavish, family-friendly adventure. In 1941 Paris, with the merciless persecution of Jews underway, young Joseph and Maurice are forced to flee their home and make their way south to the demilitarized zone, their best hope of survival. Aided only by their own ingenuity and the occasional kindness of others, the boys set off on a dangerous mission, overcoming extraordinary odds in hopes of one day reuniting with their family.
