This is our documentary. Though they terminated our #NEH grant, we finished our film & just won FLIFF40’s jury prize for Best Documentary. But we still need funding. Resist by following & supporting us: https://t.co/UnPyR37ek2

When you build a machine to target people based on gender, race, or any other identity, it ends up targeting Jews too.

New deposition testimony shows a DOGE staffer flagged a Holocaust documentary for termination. The film told the story of Jewish women forced into slave labor by the Nazis.

His reason is shocking.

As @undergroundmom heads to #SantaFeInternationalFilmFestival I reflect on how my mother’s buried #PTSD informs how I process the magical reunions of #October7 #hostages with their families in #Israel and the long road of recovery that lies ahead. https://t.co/M2buH9ULCw

Happy 80th anniversary of liberation for survivors of Jewish women's camps https://t.co/cqcWKztfsZ

[Marisa Fox @marisafox]

Celebrating #VEDay with a monument honoring my late mother & survivors of Jewish women’s camps in Trutnov, CZ. My film, @undergroundmom tells their story. This was taken a few years ago. On this 80th anniversary of the camps’ liberation, my film’s message is only more urgent.

RETWEET to congratulate @AmyKlobuchar on making history!

[Marisa Fox @marisafox]

Happy birthday to my mother Tamar who emerged from the Holocaust a doer, never a victim. She made her dream of a Jewish national home a reality, helped refugee kids expelled from Arab countries & taught me to be a fearless, independent Jewish & Zionist woman @myundergroundmother
