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.

FUNDING GOALS

Our production has received generous grants from: the National Endowment for the Humanities, Claims Conference, Jewish Story Partners, New York State Council on the Arts, NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music and Theatre, New York Foundation for the Arts, Remembrance and Future Foundation, Spungen Family Foundation, Karma Foundation, Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture and many private donors. Fox is a 2022 Jewish Film Institute resident, sponsored by the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, won Pitch Royale at the Australian International Screen Forum, and was a finalist at Paley Doc Pitch.

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