Egg Cream
Documentary short/USA/2018/16 minutes
Written and Directed by Nora Miller & Peter Miller
A delightful short film about memory, history, and the enduring meaning of a beloved chocolate soda drink born in Jewish immigrant neighborhoods at the turn of the 20th century. The egg cream contained neither eggs nor cream - it was a product of necessity and hardship, but a source of joy and sweetness.
