Frank Buckles, a humble man who found himself in extraordinary places. He fought during WWI. In the 20's and 30's, he sailed the world. In the 40's, he was a prisoner during WWII. In the 50's, he bought a farm and started a family and in 2006, at the age of 106, he fought to his death for proper honor for his forgotten fellow soldiers. He was the last voice of his generation.

Margaret Silverman's 9 minute experimental video documentary, Running Scenarios, considers the complex question:What does it mean to be Jewish? Through a five window split screen we view intimate familial Jewish experience through a Bar Mitzvah and the ritual making of challah, multi-media paintings of youth and Israeli military, and documentary interviews of the Jewish Diaspora, all which flank the central figure of a runner, Silverman herself. The runner is at once an American, a woman, a mother and Jewish who struggles to reconcile the multi-faceted and non-hierarchical nature of her Jewish identity. This work provides no easy answers, giving the viewers the freedom to be with the question and reconcile the issues for themselves.
