WE MET AT GROSSINGER’S

We Met at Grossinger’s is an immersive journey through the Jewish Catskills—once known as the Borscht Belt

The screening will be followed by a conversation with producer, Robert Friedman, and Jennie Grossinger’s granddaughter, Susan Estess moderated by Emmy award winning co-host of The View & Guild Hall Academy of the Arts Member, Joy Behar.
