Itzhak
A look at the life, work and religious heritage of violinist Itzhak Perlman
ITZHAK presents the extraordinary story of the life and music of Itzhak Perlman, widely considered the greatest living violinist. This revealing documentary explores the ways in which Perlman’s passion for music allowed him to find a platform for personal expression despite challenging circumstances, creating a nuanced portrait of a man whose remarkable will to survive is never far removed from his tremendous generosity and humor.
Director Alison Chernick gained privileged access to Perlman and his family, friends, colleagues and students. In Perlman and his music, we hear the story of obstacles and survival, we trace the path of the Jewish people from the chaos of Europe to the promise of Israel, we see the comfort of home and family and witness how humor and talent combine with discipline and drive.
