We knew from our history what it meant to be Jewish, but I didn’t know what it felt like on my body until Hitler rose to power. ~Natalie Mehlman Scharf

Our NEH grant was cut

On April 2nd, President Trump cut all NEH grants approved under the Biden administration, which included our film. We need your help to complete post production and launch our festival tour, starting with our world premiere summer 2025. Because Trump also cut NEA grants, which fund nonprofit arts organizations from our fiscal sponsor, CID, to film festivals to libraries and museums that screen films with cultural, historical and humanitarian value, the documentary infrastructure has been severely eroded. We need your help to take our film on the road and support our community outreach, social impact and educational campaign to counter Holocaust denial, surging antisemitism and elevate women’s marginalized voices. At a time when the connection between antisemitism or racial hatred and wartime sexual violence has never been more apparent, the message of our film is sadly relevant.

We still need your help to meet our archival, music and festival costs. In honor of the Jewish New Year, we're launching our 5786 challenge: For $5,786: You get your name listed in the end credits, a pair of tickets to a festival screening near you and a signed poster. For $578.60: You get a pair of tickets to a local festival with signed poster. For $57.86: You get a signed poster.

THE FILM’S 501(3C) FISCAL SPONSOR IS THE CENTER FOR INDEPENDENT DOCUMENTARY IN BOSTON. ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX EXEMPT.
