FIDDLER: MIRACLE OF MIRACLESWednesday, July 8, 12:01am - Friday, July 10, 11:59pm Director: Max Lewkowicz | USA | 2019 | 90 min | English | Documentary
Don’t read this title and say, “I’m all Fiddler-ed out.” That’s what the RJFF committee thought. Without exception, committee members agreed, “It must be shown.” For the first time, intimate interviews with the show's creators prove how much more there is to the Fiddler story, from the complexity and relevance of its themes (feminism, racism, refugees) to the struggle to get it produced, to the unexpected worldwide popularity of this “most Jewish” of shows. Upbeat and joyous, this is an absolute “must-see.”
