About the film
PRESENTED BY THE SANTA FE JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL
The boundary-breaking Broadway sensation INDECENT explodes onto the screen in a filmed presentation that captures every act of defiance.
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Director and written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Paula Vogel, INDECENT resurrects the true story of a 1923 Broadway scandal: a play featuring a love scene between two women and an obscenity trial that shook American theater. What began as Sholem Asch’s Yiddish drama God of Vengeance became a lightning rod for censorship, antisemitism, and intolerance.
