Sneak Movie Preview

 
 

We are excited to host a preview of “My Dear Children: Feige’s Choice.” This poignant story is told through a rare memoir of a Jewish mother of 12 who survived but then sent two of her children to an orphanage in South Africa. It is the first-ever film about the anti-Jewish massacres in Eastern Europe from 1917-1921. The film is a work-in-progress. WPBT2 South Florida PBS has agreed to be the partnering station for release to the PBS network nationwide. The expectation is to have the film finished by late summer. The plan is to host a screening at the Washington Jewish Film Festival in May and the IAJGS Conference in July. 

LeeAnn Dance, a Virginia-based documentary filmmaker is the Co-Producer/Director. She will introduce the film and be available for questions. More information may be found at www.mydearchildrendoc.com and www.facebook.com/feigaschoice.
