We Met at Grossinger’s is a joyfully nostalgic and wonderfully entertaining journey through the Catskills—once known as the Borscht Belt—told through the rise and fall of its crown jewel: Grossinger’s Resort and Hotel (the real-life inspiration for Dirty Dancing). 

Built and run by three generations of trailblazing women, Grossinger’s stood at the center of a world Jews built for themselves after being shut out of America’s mainstream resorts and clubs. It became far more than a vacation destination—it was a sanctuary of identity, joy, and reinvention. Here, amid the laughter of comics, the brilliance of athletes, and the grace of guests like Jackie Robinson, Eddie Fisher, and Eleanor Roosevelt, Jewish Americans and other marginalized communities found a stage to redefine what it meant to be accepted, celebrated, and free. 

A timely reminder of the historic richness of Jewish culture and its immeasurable contributions to American life, Forbes magazine called this one-of-a-kind film “An inspiring affirmation of the American Dream.” 

This screening takes place at The Dome at the Orlando Science Center (777 E. Princeton St. Orlando, Florida 32803). 

Please note, there are no Enzian Film Society member discounts or reservations for this screening.
