Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness
2011 · 1 hr 33 mins
A riveting portrait of the great writer whose stories became the basis of the Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof. Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness tells the tale of the rebellious genius who created an entirely new literature. Plumbing the depths of a Jewish world locked in crisis and on the cusp of profound change, he captured that world with brilliant humor. Sholem Aleichem was not just a witness to the creation of a new modern Jewish identity, but one of the very men who forged it.
Director: Joseph Dorman
Cast: Rachel Dratch, Hillel Halkin, Jason Kravits, Dan Miron, Peter Riegert
