Event

Strange Fruit (Jewish Film Festival)
Saturday, January 13, 2007 @ 7:00 PM
USA, 2002, 57 minutes
English Language
Directed by Joel Katz

Strange Fruit masterfully combines history, biography, and jazz music. The film traces the genesis of the now-famous, haunting lyrics sung by jazz giant Billie Holiday. Originally written as a poem it becomes even more poignant knowing that the writer Abel Merepol was a Jewish schoolteacher who also adopted the two sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg after their 1953 execution. The boys, now middle-aged, help relate the tale, illuminating the fevered world of art and politics in which they grew up. The history of the words, the song, jazz and the sad stain of black lynching in the American South makes it a must see for everyone.
