Jews of the Wild West is a feature length documentary. The independent film is produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Amanda Kinsey. Through on-camera interviews, compelling footage, and historical photographs, the film tells a positive immigration story and highlights the dynamic contributions Jewish Americans made to shaping the Western United States. The documentary was funded through donors, grants and crowdsourcing. 

Six years ago, Amanda relocated from Brooklyn to Denver with her family. She is not Jewish and sees this project as an important act of ally-ship with the goal of amplifying Jewish voices. Her passion for the Wild West is personal. Amanda's grandmother was born in Denver and once jumped out of an airplane for $100, her great-grandparents ran a photography studio in Butte, Montana at the turn of the century and her great-great-grandfather owned a San Francisco saloon during the California Gold Rush.
