One of the best-kept secrets of the 2006 Sundance Festival is Tiffany Shlain's The Tribe, a fast-paced short film that takes viewers on an exhilarating and irreverent ride through Jewish history and culture. Join us for a special Spertus Summer Screening followed by a lively discussion on what it means to be a member of "the tribe" in the opening decade of the 21st century.
