There Are Jews Here
Come see the latest work from Milwaukee filmmakers Brad Lichtenstein and Morgan Johnson. There Are Jews Here explores the shrinking number of Jewish communities and the people working to keep them together. The film visits cities in Montana, Texas, Alabama and Pennsylvania in an attempt to understand the demographic shifts underway.
Don’t wait to get your tickets, as one of the last two showings is already nearly soldout.

Milwaukee Film Says…
Director Brad Lichtenstein (As Goes Janesville, MFF2012) tells a touching story of America’s disappearing Jewish communities and the hardworking people striving to keep them intact and ensure that their cultural legacies are not lost. Come with us to Butte, MT, Laredo, TX, Dothan, AL (where a millionaire offers $50,000 to families willing to relocate and join their dwindling populace), and Latrobe, PA, as we witness more than 1 million American Jews living in small, once-thriving communities, bound together by faith and striving to keep the Jewish spirit alive.
