¿Qué significa ser un REVOLUCIONARIO AMERICANO hoy? Grace Lee Boggs, una mujer chino-estadounidense de Detroit, que murió en octubre de 2015 a los 100 años, tiene una visión sorprendente de la revolución. Escritora, activista y filósofa arraigada durante más de 70 años en el movimiento afroamericano, dedicó su vida a una revolución en evolución que abarcaba las contradicciones del pasado de Estados Unidos y su futuro potencialmente radical. Este documental ganador del Premio Peabody nos sumerge en la práctica de toda la vida de Boggs de encender el diálogo y la acción comunitarios, trabajo que atraviesa los principales movimientos sociales estadounidenses del siglo pasado: desde los derechos laborales hasta los derechos civiles, pasando por el Black Power, el feminismo, el asiático-americano y el medio ambiente. movimientos de justicia y más allá.
Angela Davis, Bill Moyers, Bill Ayers, Ruby Dee y Ossie Davis, Danny Glover, el marido de Boggs, James Boggs, y una gran cantidad de camaradas de Detroit de tres generaciones ayudan a dar forma a esta historia exclusivamente estadounidense. Mientras lucha con un Detroit en transición, las contradicciones de la violencia y la no violencia, Malcolm X y Martin Luther King Jr., las rebeliones de 1967 y nociones no lineales del tiempo y la historia, Boggs emerge con un enfoque que es radical en su simplicidad y claridad: la revolución no es un acto de agresión o simplemente una protesta. La revolución, dice Boggs, tiene que ver con algo más profundo dentro de la experiencia humana: la capacidad de transformarse uno mismo para transformar el mundo. Con más de diez años de realización, esta película interdisciplinaria tiene un gran atractivo.

"Karen A. Frenkel has unlocked her family treasures, once brought home in plastic bags, to tell the story of her parents’ and grandparents’ ordeals during the Holocaust. Her research was prodigious, her work indefatigable, and her courage admirable. As we follow their stories, the history of the Shoah unfolds, the world before, the diverse ways in which these Jews faced their fate and made life and death choices––even choiceless choices––how they dealt with the legacy of their struggle––some in silence, and some in words. As the child of survivors, Frenkel uncovers her past but the story she tells is not just personal for we begin to feel that her family could be ours. Her exploration of the past is engaging. Family Treasures is truly a treasure.”
New Jersey Education Association NJEA | Dr. Kim Pinkney, Associate Director - Consortium Coordinator PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND INSTRUCTIONAL ISSUES
“The NJEA Consortium is steadfast in its commitment to supporting educators in fostering a socially conscious and just society. It ensures this vital work with resources and professional development needed to empower students to become empathetic, engaged global citizens. The five-part docuseries, Family Treasures Lost and Found, is a perfect example of a tool that can be used in high school and junior high school educational settings to bring studies of the Holocaust to life."
Jewish Press Review
“Family Treasures Lost and Found is a visually stunning film, largely because producer Karen A. Frenkel inherited a formidable family archive of art and photos from her mother’s refugee grandparents, who escaped Berlin in 1941."
New York University | Avinoam J. Patt, Ph.D. - Maurice and Corinne Greenberg Professor of Holocaust Studies, Ingeborg H. and Ira Leon Rennert Director, NYU Center for the Study of Antisemitism
"Family Treasures Lost and Found can serve as an excellent resource for Holocaust educators, modeling key skills such as critical inquiry, archival research, and the analysis of survivor testimony essential for effective instruction. Students and teachers will be introduced to fascinating aspects of Holocaust history as they follow Karen Frenkel's quest to learn her family history and by extension the broader history of Jewish life in Europe before, during, and after World War II. The discussion guide and appendix offer helpful resources designed to provide educators with the necessary tools to effectively teach this complex history."
