As part of the opening of our Ninth Season, NY Times best-selling author Ronen Bergman will be joining us for a special talk about his latest book RISE AND KILL FIRST. Bergman is Israel’s best known investigative reporter. RISE AND KILL FIRST IS THE first definitive history of the Mossad, Shin Bet, and the IDF’s targeted killing programs, hailed by The New York Times as “an exceptional work, a humane book about an incendiary subject.”
Mr. Bergman is a contributor to the New York Times, and his byline appeared recently on stories about the targeted assassination of one of Syria’s top nuclear scientists and Israel’s secret activities to obtain Iran’s nuclear secrets.
RONAN BERGMAN has been generously underwritten by Festival Angels Susan and Steven Goldstein with additional support from Film Underwriters Renee and Arthur Goshin and Film Sponsors Gloria Abella Ballen, Ron Duncan Hart and Jacqueline and Barry Panter
