I Grew Up in Princeton


I Grew Up in Princeton is an independent documentary film directed by Brad Mays, and produced by Lorenda Starfelt at LightSong Films in North Hollywood, California. The film had its festival debut at the New Jersey International Film Festival on June 14, 2014 and was followed by another screening at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival on June 28, 2014.

The numerous interviewees featured in I Grew Up in Princeton include cartoonist Arnold Roth, famed artist Nelson Shanks, author Zachary Tumin formerly of Harvards John F. Kennedy School of Government, former Superintendent of Princeton Regional Schools Phil McPherson, and former director of the Institute for Defense Analyses IDA Lee Neuwirth, who speaks in considerable detail about the 1970 anti war demonstration which occurred on IDA grounds. According to writer Linda Arntzenius in an article for Princeton publication Town Topics, IDA was thought to be in cahoots with the United States military war machine, plotting bombing routes in Cambodia. Also featured in the oncamera discussions regarding Princeton student war protest are Jimmy Tarlau and David Schankler, both former members of Students For A Democratic Society SDS, whose views of the IDA demonstrations clearly differ from Neuwirths. While the film sheds considerable light on IDA, as well as other longstanding controversies regarding the Princeton community, a final historical resolution proves elusive.
