SLO FILM FESTIVAL: APRIL 25-30 2024 ENCORE MAY 1-5

JEWS OF THE WILD WEST

SPONSORED BY: TOEWS LAW

​Western Jewish pioneers are a largely forgotten chapter in US History, yet they have played a definitive role shaping the expansion of the country. Nationally known names such as Levi Strauss, Samsonite founder Jesse Shwayder and the Guggenheim family built their great fortunes in California and Colorado, and by the end of the 19th Century nearly every notorious Wild West town had a Jewish mayor.

Available Virtually from April 30 – May 7
