Public Talk & Screening of "Wrong Elements” a 2017 documentary by Jonathan Littell
Followed by a discussion between the writer and filmmaker Jonathan Littell and architect Eyal Weizman (CRA).

Geofrey, Nighty and Mike, a group of friends, as well as Lapisa, were among these youths, abducted at 12 or 13.
