People who dedicate their lives to making documentaries are to be admired. It is a hand to mouth existence and a labour of love.

My husband and I were both wondering why we had never heard of Gertrude Berg before, she sounded so impressive, so we will definitely be on the look out for this film.

And then tell all your friends. I saw it last month in Washington D.C., it's a masterful telling of the story of an extraordinary Jewish woman BY an extraordinary Jewish woman. Aviva took questions after the showing at the Avalon Theatre, revealing the dedication it took to bring Molly back to the screen. Indeed, she still needed to raise about $150,000 and I'm betting still does -- I hope someone steps up to the plate to ensure the movie gets the distribution and the visibility it deserves. Brava!
