Kids jumping into the lake. A counselor strumming on a guitar. An inviting, woodsy landscape. Commie Camp, Katie Halper’s 2013 film, which she’s just reedited and rereleased in honor of Camp Kinderland’s centennial this year, opens with evocative imagery inviting us into what looks like a classic summer camp.

Cut to the blaring of Rush Limbaugh, the broadcaster who was the voice of the far right in the pre-Trump era. Limbaugh trumpets, hammer and sickle on screen, the “scandal” that Obama’s nominee to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Erica Groshen, sent her children to “a left-wing Jewish socialist summer camp with Communist roots.”

That camp was Kinderland, located in eastern Massachusetts, and Halper (a filmmaker, podcaster, comedian, and, full disclosure, a friend of mine) is a proud former camper and counselor who probably owes her existence to the camp — her grandparents met there.
