46. Sol Dollinger to Stephen Peet, Oct. 12, 1976, Dollinger Collection, Los Angeles. The Dollingers and the Peets stayed in contact with each other over the next several years. Peet asked Genora for film ideas. She believed he should make a documentary on the integration struggle in the United States and what remained to be done before full equality was realized; the “hillbillies” who had come up from the South to work in the Flint auto plants would make a good subject, as would the establishment of the twelve missions in California by the Jesuits.
