๐ŸŽฌ Just Announced!
๐ŸŽฅ THE MAD DOG OF EUROPE, Toronto Premiere
๐Ÿ”ฏ Join TJFF and the Toronto Holocaust Museum in exploring a unique tale from Hollywoodโ€™s history as part of Neuberger Holocaust Education Week 2026.
๐ŸŽž This gripping documentary uncovers "The Mad Dog of Europe", a 1932 screenplay by Herman J. Mankiewicz, written a decade before Citizen Kane. Conceived as a warning about Na**sm, the film was never made due to Hollywoodโ€™s diplomatic and financial pressures. The documentary explores censorship, politics, and the film industry, drawing striking parallels to todayโ€™s polarization and rising antisemitism.
๐Ÿ‘ฅ Screening followed by a Zoom Q&A with Nick Davis, grandson of Herman Mankiewicz.
๐Ÿ“ November 4th, 7:30pm at Leah Posluns Theatre
