Four Seasons Lodge

documentary

Present-day study of a colony of Jewish survivors from Europe who bought a camp in the Catskills and gathered every summer to find sustenance and support from each other. At this point they are very aged. It was vaguely unpleasant following a group of elders around as they tried to dance, cavort and play in sad attempts to re-create the pleasures of youth.

This is a world that's dying with the participants. Filming them like this has historical value but I didn't find it entertaining or particularly informative.
