on
the United Workers Cooperative Colony, aka the Coops, a grassroots and
member-driven community of 2,000 immigrant Jewish factory workers,
built in the Bronx in the 1920s. </font><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The film bears witness to <font><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><font><font>a struggle for equity and justice spanning two generations, </font></font></font></font>with residents transcending barriers of race, language, and sometimes even
common sense. <font><font>Tracking the rise and fall of the Coops, <span style="font-style: italic;">At Home in Utopia</span> pays close attention to the passions that bound them together and those that tore them apart.</font></font> History may not repeat itself, but given the current
economic crisis and the recent presidential election, the story of the
Coops has powerful echoes today.</font></font> <span style="font-style: italic;">Length: 56 min.</span> <br><div style="text-align: center;"><font style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></font><br><font style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><font>About the Director</font></span></font><br></div><br>Award-winning
