Absolutely a wonderful documentary giving the history of this noted song. It transcends from its beginnings in the Ukraine, to Europe, and to the U.S., before becoming a totally world phenomenon.
It's emphasis is the depiction that joy must be a part of Jewish life, no matter how much we have suffered through various persecutions.
Scenes from films depicting this joy are shown throughout the documentary.
People such as Harry Belafonte and Connie Francis, both of whom shall always be remembered for their renditions for this time-honored song are interviewed along with late Leonard Nimoy.
