Description

French philosopher and filmmaker Bernard-Henri Lévy's new documentary film, The Will to See, is premiering nationwide in LA, NYC, DC, Boston and San Francisco.

The film follows Lévy in 2020 when he was sent by a group of international newspapers to report from countries around the world disrupted by war and the most challenging geopolitical disasters, yet no one was paying attention.

During this fraught year, Lévy met with President Zelenskyy and was embedded with Ukrainian forces in the trenches of the Donbas region.

He traveled to Nigeria’s Christian villages being decimated by the Boko Haram tribes, to General Mazlum Kobane’s bunker in Syrian Kurdistan and the caves where ISIS still operates in Iraqi Kurdistan.

He spent time with Ahmad Massoud, son of his old friend the late Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, in Afghanistan’s Panjshir Valley before the Taliban take-over.

He traveled to Lesbos, Bangladesh, Somalia and Libya as well chronicling the misery of the refugee camps and dangers from terrorist groups.

His film has one message: pay attention and care for common humanity. Now more than ever.

The evening will serve as a rallying call to stand with Ukraine. Lévy just returned from Kyiv, Odessa, Bucha, Irpin, Borodjanka and other villages ravaged by this terror and will be sharing his perspectives from the ground in the discussion following the film.

Representatives from Razom for Ukraine will speak and donations to this worthy organization will be encouraged.
