SCREENING: At Home in Utopia
In the 1920s, thousands of immigrant Jewish factory workers escaped New York’s slums into the community of their dreams; four apartment houses they built in the Bronx that they owned and ran cooperatively. At Home in Utopia focuses on the United Workers Cooperative Colony, also known to local police as Little Moscow because it was dominated by Communists.
