Stories Matter: Ask Dr. Ruth (Documentary)

🎬 STORIES MATTER: ASK DR. RUTH (Documentary)

What can one person teach an entire culture about sex, intimacy, and being human?

Join us for an evening of film and conversation as we explore the extraordinary life of Dr. Ruth Westheimer—Holocaust survivor, educator, author, and pioneering sex therapist.

Through her warmth, wisdom, and humor, she helped transform the way America talked about intimacy.

More than a documentary about sex, Ask Dr. Ruth is a story of resilience, curiosity, courage, and the remarkable impact one person can have on an entire culture.

We’ll begin with a brief Entertainment Tonight tribute introducing Dr. Ruth before watching the documentary together. Afterward, we’ll gather for a facilitated conversation exploring the themes, questions, and insights raised by her life and legacy.

Whether you grew up hearing Dr. Ruth on the radio or are meeting her for the first time, bring your curiosity.

Sharing is always optional.
