SHOLEM ALEICHEM: LAUGHING IN THE DARKNESS

A riveting portrait of the great writer whose stories became the basis of the Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof, this film tells the tale of the rebellious literary genius who became the best known Yiddish writer and playwright in Europe and America. Plumbing the depths of a Jewish world locked in crisis and on the cusp of profound change, Sholem Aleichem’s pen captured that world with sharp clarity and brilliant humor.
