The real-life inspiration for the setting of the 1987 classic film Dirty Dancing, Grossinger’s provided both a physical and mental getaway where Jews—and others from marginalized communities—needing a break from NYC could relax. The resort’s growing reputation attracted a wide variety of comedians, athletes, and political figures, including Jackie Robinson and Eleanor Roosevelt. Emmy-nominated filmmaker Paula Eiselt (93Queen) masterfully resurrects this vanished world with warmth, weaving cultural history into a timely and resonant exploration of immigration, belonging, and the American experience.
