Hawaii J20+ will host a panel discussion on the Syrian civil war, following a free screening of “Last Men in Aleppo” at 4 p.m. June 3 at the Doris Duke Theatre.

Co-sponsored by the Still and Moving Center, the panel will feature the film’s co-directors, Firas Fayyad and/or Steen Johannessen, and Yassin al-Haj Saleh, a Syrian writer and political dissident, who is currently a refugee in Turkey. The discussion is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. and will be moderated by Nandita Sharma, associate professor of sociology at the University of Hawaii-Manoa, who specializes in migration studies.

“Last Men in Aleppo,” which was the World Documentary Grand Jury Prize Winner at the Sundance Film Festival, tells the story of three of the founding members of White Helmets in Aleppo, a group of volunteer first-responders in the besieged city.

This special viewing is part of the Doris Duke Theatre’s showing of the Seventh Art Stand, a nationwide screening of films from the seven countries that were originally part of President Donald Trump’s executive order banning immigrants from those majority-Muslim nations. The January order has since been updated to omit Iraq and is being assessed in federal courts. The series seeks to combat Islamophobia and Muslim discrimination through the medium of film, a news release said.

The theater is at 900 S. Beretania St.
