After watching How to Make it to the Promised Land, a 16 minute short film by Sam Zalutsky, Jewish summer camp will never look the same again! Counselors at Camp Shalom have transformed the California hills into Lodz, Poland, as campers are divided into two groups. Lizzie, a precocious teenage girl, must make moral choices while navigating a Holocaust role-playing “game,” with thought-provoking results.  This film, specially selected by the Director of the Miami Jewish Film Festival, is sure to stimulate lots of controversial conversation. Discussion will be led by Holocaust Studies expert and FIU professor Oren Stier. Warning for Strong Language (the f*** word is used).
