Jews of the Wild West (2022)
Fascinating and fabulous documentary
4 April 2023 - 3 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
This is a fascinating and fabulous documentary. I learned a tremendous amount about several notable persons that engaged in or moved to the West, shaping the community, writ large. The Levi's story was particularly of interest to me, as a lifelong wearer of Levis, I was excited to see the story of jeans being created. I also thoroughly enjoyed the story of Max Aronson, the first western film star. He and his wife's love story and the way in which they managed their careers was the tale of an early power couple. Finally, I am grateful to the documentarian for telling a story about the West that has yet to be highlighted -- i.e., the Jewish population and its influence on this special part of America!
