This EMMY Award winning dramatic program, inspired by an actual event,
tells the story of a rabbi who teaches three teenage boys about
tolerance after their
“innocent” anti-Semitic prank outrages the community. Gentle in its
delivery, but firm in its message, this moving video stands out as an
exemplary lesson
in tolerance, compassion, perseverance, forgiveness and repentance.
Produced & Directed by David J. Eagle for Little Eagle Productions,
Inc., and CBS.
“Dealing with prejudice in general and anti-Semitism in particular,
is one of our goals. A movie such as “Writing On The Wall” brings the
issue into the
lives of our students in a dramatic way through a medium to which they
can relate.”
