WATCH THE FILM ANYTIME JULY 9-13, AND THEN JOIN US ONLINE ON JULY 13 FOR A TALK WITH THE FILMMAKER, AVIVA KEMPNER!

Presented by Aviva Kempner, Filmmaker

The Film: Following her Peabody award-winning The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg, Aviva Kempner once again turns to the fascinating (in this case double) life of a Jewish baseball player: Moe Berg. A rarefied intellectual from Newark, NJ, Berg played as a catcher for five major league teams… and was also a spy for the OSS during WWII as part of the effort to undermine the German atomic bomb program. Rare archival footage and interviews with historians, sportswriters, and espionage experts unravel this stranger-than-fiction story.

The Talk: Join us online for a conversation and Q&A period with the filmmaker, to learn more about this project, her decades of experience exploring unknown Jewish stories, and her upcoming projects!
