THE CORAL RING LEGACY 2026 | Documentary | USA | 67 minutes Watch it on: Watch THE CORAL RING LEGACY at home at your convenience and then Join us on Zoom Tuesday, Oct 20 when filmmaker, Henry Nevison will be with us to talk about the making of the film. The documentary was winner of Best Social Justice Feature at the June 2026 World Film Festival in Cannes. Just released in 2026, The CORAL RING LEGACY shows how Barbara Greenspan Shaiman, daughter of Holocaust survivors, is dedicating her life to transforming generational trauma into intergenerational healing. The film shares the powerful, inspirational stories of a group of high school students who set out to make an impact locally and globally through a program called Champions of Caring in which more than 10,000 participants have already generated one million hours of public service. Now in their 30’s and 40’s and dispersed throughout the world, we revisit these “Champions” to discover how they continue to be change makers, living and teaching the values of kindness, caring and empathy to their children and communities. Watch at your convenience, then sign up below to join us on Zoom for the discussion, Tuesday 10/20 at 7:30pm. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. See below. |

Our committee scours the film universe to bring you the best available. All have a Jewish connection. We invite everyone in the community to enjoy these free nights at the JCC.
