WHO KILLED ALEX ODEH?

2025, dir. Jason Osder and William Youmans
United States; 84 min.
In English

Activist, teacher, and poet Alex Odeh was a leading voice in his community, advocating in the media for peace and justice through dialogue and respect for all people. In October 1985, he was assassinated by a tripwire bomb placed in his office. Despite evidence and suspects identified at the time, no one has ever been held accountable for this horrible act of political violence.

Using archival footage and contemporary investigation, we are taken back to the time of Odeh’s murder and trace the extremist forces that may have been behind his death and the disturbing ramifications that remain today.

Following the screening will be a Q&A with Director Jason Osder and members of the Odeh family.
