RIGA, LATVIA
Operation Wedding chosen to be the opening film at Israeli Film Days festival in Riga.
Usually I travel alone for Operation Wedding screenings, but this time my mother joined me for special premiere screenings events in Riga: the city where my mother grew up, the prison were she was at a few month before sent to Gulag and probably
the most memorable scene from the film.

The first screening was for press and historians at Riga's KGB prison: where the most memorable scene in the documentary (also featured in the trailer) was filmed in 2015, where my mother was imprisoned in 1970. Today the prison became the Museum of Occupation in Latvia, in the center of Riga.

LOS ANGELES
On the same date of Operation Wedding L.A. premiere screening, there was an AFI event, Federation event and Israeli Film festival yet still we had a great turnout at Museum of Tolerance co presented with RuJu-LA!
We were honored to host State Senator Robert M. Herzberg,
and major Soviet Jewry Freedom activists Zev Teruslvsky and Ed Robin.
Jerusalem post: Nov 14
■ IF PRESIDENT Reuven Rivlin had arrived in Los Angeles two days earlier, he would have had the opportunity to see the jointly sponsored screening at the Museum of Tolerance of the documentary film Operation Wedding, whose Los Angeles premiere on Saturday night was cosponsored by the Museum of Tolerance and RuJu-LA and the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, in partnership with the Genesis Philanthropy Group and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
