A Must See Documentary, Goldman's "The Coops"

This comes to us from the Filmmakers Collaborative (in MA):

At Home in Utopia
Director: Michal Goldman
Co-Producer: Ellen Brodsky
Shown as part of the Boston Jewish Film Festival, co-presented by Filmmakers Collaborative

Sunday, November 11
3:30 pm
Museum of Fine Arts
In person: Michal Goldman

Filmmaker Michal Goldman traces the fascinating history of the United Workers Cooperative Colony - a.k.a. "The Coops" - one of four cooperative apartments built in the Bronx in the 1920's by visionary Jewish garment workers. A portrait of secular Jewish values, Black-Jewish integration, Communists and immigrants catapulting out of tenement life, Goldman's documentary is a must-see.
