In this episode, Avrum speaks with Henry Wolfond, a prominent businessman, Jewish community leader, and dedicated advocate for Toronto’s cultural scene. Henry offers an insider’s perspective on the Toronto International Film Festival’s (TIFF) decision to reinstate 'The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue', a powerful documentary by acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich. The film chronicles the heroic October 7th rescue mission led by retired Israeli General Noam Tibon to save family members. Initially, TIFF removed the documentary from its lineup, citing legal and safety concerns, sparking intense debate and significant public outcry, particularly from the Jewish community. Following this backlash, TIFF reversed its decision, securing the film’s world premiere at its 50th edition. Henry explores the significance of this reversal and the broader implications for combating anti-Semitism, preserving free expression, and fostering cultural dialogue through storytelling.

Joined by the remarkable Carla Stockton, a first-generation American boomer whose life story unfolds like a series of vivid vignettes. From her mother’s daring escape from Europe before World War II to her own liberation from a stifling marriage, Carla’s journey is a powerful meditation on survival, family, and self-discovery. Her memoir, Too Much of Nothing: Notes on Feminism, Identity, and Womanhood, is a must-read, brimming with humour, heart, and hard-won wisdom. It’s a story that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt lost, offering hope and a reminder that it’s never too late to start over. Carla brings a wealth of experience to our conversation. A celebrated writer, her work has graced 'Moment Magazine', The Toast, and The Guardian, and she’s translated Radovan Ivsic’s King Gordogan. With 50 years of parenthood and nearly as many spent teaching, she’s shaped minds as a former high school drama director and English teacher, and now as an adjunct professor at Lehman College. Currently, she’s crafting her second nonfiction book and a YA historical fiction novel. Her story, as one reviewer notes, is a compelling tapestry of historical trauma, tenacity, and the universal challenges of womanhood, making it essential reading for women and men alike.
