About "The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground"
A documentary film from Erik Greenberg Anjou
The Klezmatics' holy ground is where a Quaker bassist and Reform Jewish trumpeter, Yiddish language, Hasidic dance, gospel music and Woody Guthrie meet. This feature-length documentary is the crown of a four-year journey alongside the band members, their music and their creative process.
Time Out, New York magazine announced, "The Klezmatics aren't just the best band in the klezmer vanguard; on a good night, they rank among the greatest bands on the planet." From New York's Lower East Side to Krakow, Poland, this film shows why.
