IMPACT: The San Antonio Jewish Oral History Project, a documentary by the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), was selected for screening at the 26th annual SAFILM-San Antonio Film Festival from September 16-20. The film chronicles the important role Jews have played in the development of San Antonio while, in parallel, gives a history of the city from the late 1800s during a period of mass immigration and covers many of the seismic events that have shaped this city such as the Flood of ’21, the Pecan Shellers’ Strike, the building of the Medical Center, and many more. IMPACT: The San Antonio Jewish Oral History Project was selected out of hundreds of submissions from around the world. For more info, go to SAFILM. com, ncjwsa.org, or view the film on Vimeo.
