<h2>J﻿oin LAJFF and the Consulate General of Israel as we celebrate Israel's 75th Anniversary with this special film presentation.</h2><h3>In person Q&amp;A with Director Matthew Mishory, film subjects Randy Schoenberg and Phillip Gomperts, and producers Rob Levine, Bradford Schlei, and Alvaro Fernandez </h3>Who Are the Marcuses? is Matthew Mishory’s feature documentary about a mysterious and unlikely pair of philanthropists: the unassuming Long Island couple and Holocaust refugees Lottie and Howard Marcus, whose half a billion-dollar gift to Ben-Gurion University in Israel—the single largest charitable donation to the State of Israel in its history—inspired peace and climate action through water technology. "A wonderful film recounting the remarkable tale of Israel, water, and philanthropy. I am proud to have played a small part,” according to featured subject Warren Buffett. The film features Warren Buffett; Israeli President Isaac Herzog; historian Daniel Gordis; best-selling philosopher Micah Goodman; lawyer and genealogist E. Randol Schoenberg; Ellen Marcus, author and activist Seth M. Siegel; and many more. Music featured by legendary Israeli guitarist David Broza.2022 / 90 minutes /English, Hebrew / IsraelI﻿n partnership with the Consulate General of Israel
