Kids Rights (2014)
A surprising must-see
"Kids-R" is not a usual documentary picture. Easy to watch and immediately gripping by the plight of parents trying to adopt children, earnest sincere good people making a tremendous effort at a great cost to them to change, enrich and save lives of kids without parents, but facing an inhuman bureaucratic wall and sometimes viciously aggressive resistance... the film digs dipper and turns the tables on humanity juxtaposing the reality of modern day adoptions problems with the right of every human being to give birth without any regard to its mental, physical and financial state, without any control or supervision in spite of horrible drug habits, violent inclinations and pure greed of giving birth to more children simply to sell them or make money of them. It's a powerful documentary drama that teaches us something new, that makes us look at kids and parents in a very different light. A must see, a surprising story line of inimitable real life, a film that makes you cringe and cry. It should be a part of any school curriculum. A must see for everyone.
Yiddish Theater: A Love Story (2005)
A unique story about Yiddish theater survival in NY.
This story is about a unique Yiddish theater in NY, it's about disappearance of traditions, it's about change of generations and fragile balance of relationships between old and new, it's about greatness of NY as a multicultural center. The story is small, but heartbreaking. It's about our roots and predecessors, whoever you are, whatever confession you are. The technical quality of the film is not that great, but at the end it's a very low budget film about a theater that struggles to survive without financial support and enough money for higher end production and P&A budget. But this film has a lot of heart. It lets its heroes speak for themselves, and it's almost impossible not to feel the pain of main characters, who are real people. At the end, this film is a part of human history and will service future generations as another reflection of who are Jews, what is New York, and a thing called time, which is unstoppable, more often cruel than not, but unable to break a human spirit.
