Robin Hessman, director of the documentary film “My Perestroika,” will appear to discuss her film after a showing on Monday, Dec. 9, 7 p.m., at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Union Theater.
This event is part of the series “Art & Conflict: Ashkenaz and Beyond” sponsored and organized by UWM’s Sam & Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies.
