REFUGE: STORIES OF THE SELFHELP HOME  is a one-hour documentary revealing the origins and originality of a resourceful community that over generations has brought together more than 1,000 Central European Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors under one roof.  Interweaving archival footage with testimony by the Selfhelp Home’s residents and founders, REFUGE reaches back 70 years to tell the story of this last generation.

REFUGE  has been awarded “Best Documentary” and “Best in Fest” at the 2012 Sycamore Film Festival.
