A New England premiere event, this digitally restored 1922 silent film from The National Center for Jewish Film is screening with a mesmerizing new music soundtrack from Grammy winning musician Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) and artists from legendary jazz and indie rock bands. This drama full of romance and plot twists is a rare example from early cinema that explicitly depicts Jewish life. Featuring sympathetic Jewish lead characters and sensitive depictions of immigrant life, Breaking Home Ties was made to combat rising antisemitism in the 1920s. NCJF’s restored film with new music is a New York Times Critics Pick.
