NEW FILM ON RELIGIOUS JOURNEYS OF AMERICAN MILLENNIALS FROM DIVERSE FAITH BACGROUNDS
RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY IN AMERICA
MILLENNIAL EXPERIENCE • INTERFAITH
Seventeen years after six diverse American teenagers shared their spiritual struggles and aspirations in a 2002 documentary, they return as adults in WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE NOW? to reveal how their beliefs have changed. Against a backdrop of growing religious polarization and disengagement, these now 33 year old subjects, including a Catholic, Pagan, Jew, Muslim, Lakota and Buddhist, offer their deeply personal faith journeys, life challenges, and evolving ideas about higher powers. Visit our website for a preview of the full film.

NEW FILM ON JEWISH SCHOLARS WHO FOUGHT NAZI PROPAGANDA FROM INSIDE THE WARSAW GHETTO
We’re writing to share a new award-winning documentary that we hope you’ll screen with Great Falls Hebrew Association Aitz Chaim.
WHO WILL WRITE OUR HISTORY tells the incredible story of a secret band of journalists, scholars and community leaders in the Warsaw Ghetto who set out to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda with pen and paper. The film mixes the writings of the Oyneg Shabes archive – the caches of writing and artifacts buried by these men and women – with new interviews, rarely seen footage and stunning dramatizations to transport viewers inside the Ghetto and into the lives of these courageous resistance fighters. Read the full synopsis here and request a preview link on our website.
“Using newsreels, voice-overs and re-enactments, Roberta Grossman, the documentary’s director, paints a comprehensive portrait of the times and of the risks taken by Ringelblum and his group.”
– The New York Times – Critic’s Pick
