Roosevelt, New Jersey: Visions of Utopia (1983)

Roosevelt, New Jersey: Visions of Utopia is a 1983 documentary. Richard Kroehling served as director and producer. The film explores the story of an independent, farming community of Jews, which was developed on socialist principles and the belief that rural fresh air would benefit the working class population of New York City. It's a modern-day utopia that almost came true for one Jewish village. During the Great Depression, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) supported an order to transfer New York’s downstate garment workers to the Jersey Homesteads.
