The documentary is directed by Max Lewkowicz and he brings together some extraordinary talent to discuss the message of the musical Fiddler on the Roof. The story, though original, is universal and so timely.

It is one of Broadway’s most beloved musicals and its creative roots in early 1960s New York tells a story of when “tradition” was on the wane as gender roles, sexuality, race relations, and religion were evolving into what we have today.

The musical is popular around the world with community and academic theaters. The message that “tradition is changing and we can’t fight it but embrace it” is powerful.
