Consider the Matzo

Documentary of the Week | Apr 22, 2016

In Streit’s: Matzo and the American Dream, director Michael Levine captures a pivotal era inside a beloved family-run business that’s operated for five generations in New York’s Lower East Side. We watch as the forces of gentrification, competition and technology put pressure on the owners to make tough decisions over the future of their matzo-making tradition.

— Thom Powers and Raphaela Neihausen
