A documentary by Alison Chernick – 2018, 80 minutes
Itzhak Perlman’s violin playing transcends mere
performance to evoke the celebrations and struggles
of real life. Alison Chernick’s enchanting documentary
looks beyond the sublime musician, to see the polio
survivor whose parents emigrated from Poland to Israel,
the young man who struggled to be taken seriously as a music student when schools saw only his disability. 2018. USA. 80 minutes. Not Rated.
