Northern Virginia Jewish Film Festival Opening Night - "When Comedy Went to School"

In New York's Catskill Mountains, aka the Borscht Belt, Jewish
immigrants transformed lush farmland into the 20th century's largest
resort complex. Those Catskill hotels and bungalow colonies provided the
setting for a remarkable group of young Jewish-American comedians to
hone their craft and become worldwide legends the generation that
includes the likes of Jerry Lewis, Sid Caesar, Jackie Mason, Mort Sahl,
and Jerry Stiller, all of whom make appearances in the film, telling
jokes and telling their stories. Robert Klein narrates.

The 14th
