DESCRIPTION:Hungarian Holocaust survivor Dr. Edith Eger\, who died April 27
  at age 98\, became a clinical psychologist during her long post-World War
  II life in El Paso. It was here that she first came to terms with her tra
 uma while working with Vietnam veterans suffering from PTSD. She later mov
 ed to the San Diego area and wrote a 2017 best-seller about her transforma
 tion\, *The Choice: Embrace the Possible*. Writer-director John David Cole
 s (*TV’s Homeland\, House of Cards*) doesn’t attempt to turn the memoi
 r into a documentary. He uses it as a starting point to connect Dr. Eger
 ’s trauma to that of Iris Haim\, an Israeli mother whose son was killed 
 by Hamas after its devastating 2023 raid on Israel. The bond they form hel
 ps Haim begin to see a way forward in this captivating documentary that ma
 kes its El Paso premiere at the 2026 Plaza Classic. — *Doug Pullen*
