Commie Camp’s West Coast Premiere was PACKED!
Sunday’s Commie Camp screening was great. The turnout was huge. The theater was beautiful. The audience laughed a lot. And asked a lot of questions. And hard questions. So hard that when one member asked me two questions I actually said, “let me start with the Israel/ Palestine question because that one is easier.” I then added, “I think I’m the first person in the entire world who’s ever said that.” Before the screening a bunch of Kinderland alumns had lunch. After the screening, the Organization Ben The Arc had an informal discussion at Arizmendi Bakery, a worker-owned cooperative.

Great Review and Great Discussion about Commie Camp
Here is a great review of my documentary Commie Camp in San Francisco’s Beyond Chron. You can read the full thing but here is an excerpt.
It is a wonderful, hopeful film raising serious issues that, thankfully, doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s a film that will make you laugh, possibly cry, and certainly have faith in at least one segment of the next generation.
Also, here is a conversation I had with Tikkun Magazine founder and editor-in-chief Michael Lerner.
