This year’s Bisbee Film Fest features the film Streit’s Matzo and the American Dream prior to its 2016 national theatrical release.
The film is being shown on Friday, November 20 @ 1pm at the Bisbee Woman’s Club. Tickets are free and can be reserved at www.bisbeefilmfestival.org.
Here is the film synopsis:
The Lower East Side of Manhattan was once home to a huge Jewish immigrant population. In 1925, Aron Streit opened Streit’s Matzo to serve the community. Today, the Lower East Side is rapidly gentrifying, and Streit’s is the only family-owned matzo business left in the US — providing 40 percent of the nation’s matzo. This documentary takes a step back in time, introducing viewers to the fifth generation of the Streit family and their business housed in four, low slung tenement buildings with no loading dock whose employees are part of the “family.” It provides of a vision of the Lower East Side then and now, and shows how this family business struggles to survive in modern New York City and with the decision of whether to move or stay in its ancestral home.
