J Street is a term for one of Washington D.C.’s newest lobbies, a lobby in support of an Israeli two-state solution. This upstart lobby, less than five years old, sees itself as a David to the immensely powerful lobby American Jewish pro-Israel lobby. This feature length documentary tracks the J Street lobby as it attempts to change what it means to be pro-Israel in America. We watch as they struggle to influence the Obama administration towards taking an active role in negotiating a two-state solution. J Street is shot with the intimacy of cinema verite, and we feel the pulse of this grass-roots organization as they attend high-level strategy meetings and spend long, intense nights working towards their goal. J Street pulls us into this group of passionate lobbyists and their fervent efforts to persuade those in power. This documentary is at once a compelling story about the American political process at work and about the desperate need for Israel to reach a lasting peace.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 84
HOOVER DEDICATES NEW EDIFICE BUILT FOR SUPREME COURT
WASHINGTON, D. C.--In the presence of a distinguished assemblage of the judiciary and members of the American Bar Association, the President officiates at the laying of the corner stone of the building which is to house the nation's highest tribunal. The structure, which will cost $10,000,000 when completed, is on a 7-acre plot selected by the late William Howard Taft, just north of the Library of Congress. Chief Justice Hughes and other members of the august body headed by him take part in the impressive ceremonies. An historic event, marking the rapid construction of the first real home for America's leading law-defining jurists.
40,000 VETERANS MASS IN ANTI-RED PLEDGE TO GOVERNMENT'S CHIEF
BUDAPEST, Hungary--"Front Fighter's Day" is celebrated by an amazing turn-out of veterans of the World War, and attended by visiting delegations of former soldiers from all the Central Powers. In perfect military formation, the men proceed to the Palace where they are reviewed by Regent Von Horthy and Field Marshal, the Archduke Joseph. Prime Minister Von Gombos, Count Talvay, chief commander of the legionnaires, and other officials take part in the impressive exercises, in which the pledge of loyalty to the monarchy and a defiance of radicalism are the outstanding keynotes.
U.S. TAKES ACTION IN $2,000,000,000 COLLAPSE OF GIANT INSULL EMPIRE
CHICAGO, Ill.--While the fugitive head of the great mid-west utility empire plays cat and mouse with American diplomatic officials in Greece, and his brother and associate is a prisoner in Canada, governmental authorities are tightening the net around the two principals in the most stupendous industrial debacle in financial history. Threatened with the loss of his passport, Samuel Insull is about to become a man without a country. Meanwhile, the Senate starts a far-reaching investigation into the operations of the pyramided gas and power syndicate. The public service magnate at the height of his influence offers a strange contrast to the hunted old man of today.
THE TIDE TURNS
Business continues upward climb as thousands return to payrolls of nation's industries
PART XI
DETROIT, Mich.--4,500 men are putting in full time in one of the country's largest automobile plants, turning out hundreds of cars daily to fill the increasing orders for pleasure cars.
CINCINNATI, O.--Business is more than four times better than it was a year ago for the factory making a well-known brand of women's shoes. 1,000 employees are working over-time, with months of top-speed activity ahead, to take care of sales already on the books. 5,000 pairs of foot-wear are completed daily.
CINCINNATI, O.--The biggest greeting card establishment in the world has 1,165 employees on full time with a goal of 50 million cards by New Year's Day. Easter and next season's business, piling up already, promises a continuation of the company's fat pay-roll.
FRESNO, Cal.--Market calls for a year ahead face the 1,026 employees now on full time at the State's leading raisin packing house. Thirty-five car-loads are being shipped every day to supply the unusual demand. This is the first time that day and night operation has been necessary at this institution in several years.
CONSTRUCTS "ARK" TO PREPARE FOR WORLD'S COMING TO END IN 1932
OLYMPIA, Wash.--Preaching the early approach of a second Deluge, Captain William L. Greenwood, self-admitted "prophet," emulates Noah and patches up an old fishing boat to house himself and his followers during his predicted flood. Weird costumes, including a suit of tin-can armor, for the purpose of frightening away the Devil, various wheezy musical instruments and queer and grotesque paintings of the Judgment Day adorn the religious fanatic's odd craft, now stuck on the mud flats not far from the State capitol. An amazing example of human idiosyncrasies gone to seed.
DARING FIRE-FIGHTERS EXCEED THRILL LIMIT IN ANNUAL EXHIBITION
CORVALLIS, Ore.--Sliding at express-elevator speed down a rope from the top of a ten-story building, the local Fire Department's champion rescue team stages an exciting and spine-chilling life-saving demonstration. In a feat that sometimes is fatal, the sure-footed "vamps" risk their lives and amaze spectators by their breath-taking descents with supposed smoke "victims." Hair-raising practice leaps by the country's greatest rope-sliders.
RECURRENT 'QUAKE IN REBUILT METROPOLIS WREAKS HAVOC ANEW
WAIROA, New Zealand--A terrific, early morning earth tremor, rocking inhabitants from their beds and toppling their homes about their ears, demolishes office buildings, houses, bridges and streets. Worse than the disaster of 1931, from which the city has just completely recovered, the new cataclysm completes the destruction of the countryside, leaving gaping fissures in roads and fields, and piles of debris in place of newly erected structures. With a roar like an artillery bombardment, 90 seconds of violent shocks are followed by continuous but lighter quivers for hours. Dressing stations and food kitchens give relief to the victims in Nature's latest curse on the Antipodes.
