Gertrude Berg, creator, star and writer (12,000 scripts!) of the 1950s pioneering sitcom The Goldbergs, was a beloved trailblazer. Berg's blend of comedy and social commentary - with Jewish characters at the center - endeared audiences and made her an American cultural icon. This film tells her funny, surprising, and inspiring story.
