Between church in Potrero Hill and Armenian Saturday school in Ocean View, Eric Esrailian frequently watched movies at the Kabuki Theater in Japantown while growing up in San Francisco. Religion, education and the arts have played major roles in the physician, Emmy-nominated film producer and activist’s life.
“I love storytelling,” the UC Berkeley alumnus told The Chronicle in a recent video interview from his home in Los Angeles.
The fourth pillar of his development is his family’s story. Like many first-generation Armenian Americans in the Bay Area, the trauma of a long-denied history bears a heavy influence on Esrailian, whose great-grandparents escaped the Armenian genocide.

How and why Afro-Asian Jews in Israel became associated and engaged with Global Black thought throughout the 20th century will be explored in a virtual talk by Professor Bryan K. Roby on Thursday, May 6, at 7:30 p.m. EDT. Registration is required.
Bryan K. Roby
In his talk, “Israel in Black & White: The Centrality of Black Thought for Afro-Asian Jewry in Israel" Roby will reflect on present-day Black cultural production in Israel and look at shifting notions of Blackness and Jewishness among Mizrahi and Ethiopian Israelis.
“Roby is an innovative scholar of social movements. Those familiar with the Israeli Black Panther movement of the 1970s immediately understood that they had taken their inspiration from the Black Panthers in the United States. Roby’s scholarship shows us how much deeper the connections run. I look forward to hearing his analysis of the continued influence of black thought on identity and social movements in Israel today,” says Deborah A. Starr, director of the Jewish Studies Program.
