Take a walk down memory lane with Gold Coast Arts Cinema Series as we present We Met At Grossingers!&nbsp;
Award-Winning filmmaker Paula Eiselt's documentary is a nostalgic exploration of the Borscht Belt's golden era through Grossinger's Resort, once the crown jewel of Jewish vacation destinations in the Catskills, from its heyday to decline.&nbsp;As its prestige grew, the resort became a cultural crossroads, hosting a mosaic of legends ranging from Jackie Robinson to Eleanor Roosevelt. This lost era is brought back to life with a vibrant, immersive intimacy. The result is a poignant tribute to the depth of Jewish heritage and a celebration of its profound, lasting impact on the American story.
