CBS to air movie based on story found by former Uniontown students In addition to Felt, 13 other current and past cast members of “Life in a Jar” attended the showing, as did Renata Zajdman, who was saved at the age of 11 by Sendler and traveled from Montreal to see the premier.
“Life in a Jar” cast member Jamie Walker said she experienced “anxiousness and anticipation to see the project come full circle, and our goal and successes come to fruition.” For Felt and Walker, as well as Konard, the story doesn’t end with the movie that airs today. A grant that Konard submitted to the Milken Foundation in 2007 was successfully funded by the L.A.-based philanthropic organization, which he used to open the Lowell Milken Center for Teaching Respect and Understanding based in Fort Scott. Walker serves as its director of development, seeking funding to support programming. Felt serves as its program director, working closely with students and teachers around the world to develop projects just like “Life in a Jar” — projects that bring to life the people she calls unsung heroes. The two said they always will feel a deep connection to Sendler, but, Felt added, “there are 33 pages of lists of unsung heroes whose stories need to be told” — many of them coming from the box of clippings Konard started.
