For a good part of the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of Jewish New Yorkers escaped the heat and mugginess of the city for the country - the Catskill Mountains. Most stayed in bungalow colonies - small clusters of simple cottages - which dotted the mountains less than a hundred miles north of New York City. Also known as the Borscht Belt, this was a vibrant world of ethnic culture and a starting point for many famous entertainers who performed in its hotels and bungalow colonies.

Today, the region is almost a ghost town. With the advent of air conditioning, the suburbs and cheaper airfares, bungalow colonies died out.

Yet, a handful still remain. One group, not often associated with levity, is enjoying life to the hilt in its Catskill summer home. However, the idyll might soon be ending. After 25 years, the Holocaust survivors of the Four Seasons Lodge are about to sell their bungalow colony. It would be the end of a tight-knit community, family to each other, bound together by staggering losses. 99 GEIGER ROAD is an intimate look at a dwindling but feisty community and at a New York and Jewish cultural icon of the 20th century - the bungalow colonies of the Borscht Belt.

NEWS: 99 GEIGER ROAD has recently been accepted at the 5th Annual Jewish Eye - World Jewish Film Festival, to be held in October 2008 in Ashkelon, Israel.
