The award-winning 2022 documentary The Wild One illuminates the journey of Jack Garfein – celebrated Broadway director, Actors Studio West co-founder, controversial filmmaker, and Holocaust survivor. Learn how his experience in Nazi concentration camps shaped his vision of acting as a survival mechanism, and propelled his engagement with themes of violence, power, and racism in two explosive films.
