IMA alumna Sarah Friedland helped edit Commie Camp. A film produced by Katie Harper. The film follows articulate and hilarious 9 year-olds during a recent summer, as they consider the world, from Harriet Tubman to Hiroshima to water-boarding. The timely film demonstrates respectful and reflective transmission of humane values and rebuts the distortions of the right wing extremists.

The film will be featured in two film festivals this summer.

VisionFest on June 28th
The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival which is to be determined
