Based on a true story, LES HÉRITIERS takes us inside a high school in a tough Paris suburb. Determined to motivate her disaffected students, many of whom are Muslim, Madam Gueguen decides to enter her class into France’s annual contest about World War II and the Shoah. While the class initially resists the idea and sees no connection between their lives and the Shoah, Madame Gueguen creates a bridge and teaches her class about racism and resilience in the process. This César nominated film for best actor is an inspirational one that has garnered numerous four and five star reviews.

Temple Beth Shalom, in association with the Santa Fe Jewish Film Festival, is hosting a special free screening for teens and their families in commemoration of Yom HaShoah.
