Irene Tenenbaum, a member of PJFM’s Screening Committee, interviews Steven Pressman, Director of THE LEVYS OF MONTICELLO, to talk about his new documentary.
Monticello is remembered as the home of Thomas Jefferson, but did you know that for nearly a century after his death, it was owned by a Jewish family? Fascinating and oddly riveting, THE LEVYS OF MONTICELLO tells the little-known story of the family that helped preserve one of America’s landmarks, all amidst increasing antisemitism from their community.
