Behind the Scenes at JF&CS

A new documentary about JF&CS Family Table is in the works. It is a class project of students at Gann Academy. The film will feature how recipient lives are improved by Family Table's efforts and will also discuss the issue of hunger in the Jewish community. The curriculum for the film class was developed last summer at BIMA, the summer arts program for teens at Brandeis University. It was made possible by a grant from the Righteous Persons Foundation. The grant included funds to adapt the class to a school setting. Filmmaker Laura Wiessen and Joshua Mocle teach the class. This Sunday the class will be at JF&CS filming part of their project. This is exciting news since the last film about Family Table was made years ago.
