Join us at the Kaplan Theatre @ the J to explore how Jewish roots influenced the music of American folk legend Woody Guthrie in this Steven Pressman documentary. The film reveals the inspiring story of his mother-in-law, Aliza Greenblatt, a Ukrainian immigrant and celebrated Yiddish poet who played a key role in his journey from Oklahoma to New York.
