Directed by Dan Katzir (90 min, USA, 2007) A documentary about Zypora Spaisman, the extraordinary 84-year-old actress and Holocaust survivor who has kept Folksbiene, the oldest running Yiddish theater in America, alive. This heartwarming story of one unique woman’s struggle portrays the fight of both an old art form to stay relevant and an old actress to find meaning and a stage in a society that worships youth. The documentary incorporates rare interviews with some of the oldest legends of Yiddish Theater, including Shifra Lerer, Felix Fibich, and the late Seymour Rechzeit.
