Director: Daniel Raim, USA, 2022, English, 88 min

Narrated by Jeff Goldblum, the film captures the drama and humor of director Norman Jewison’s quest to recreate the lost world of Jewish life in Czarist Russia and re-envision the beloved stage hit as a wide-screen epic . Oscar-nominated filmmaker Daniel Raim puts us in the director’s chair and in Jewison’s heart and mind, drawing on behind-the-scenes footage and never-before-seen stills as well as original interviews with Jewison, Topol (Tevye), composer John Williams and actresses Rosalind Harris, Michele Marsh and Neva Small (Tevye’s daughters)
