Yiddish Movie Night - Green Fields

Yiddish Movie Night at Rhizome DC presents the 1937 classic *Green Fields* (Grine Felder), directed by Edgar G. Ulmer. The film is a soulful, open-air adaptation of Peretz Hirshbein’s play, following an ascetic young scholar who journeys into the countryside in search of a city of "true Jews" and instead learns unexpected lessons from the Jewish peasants who take him in as a tutor for their children. The screening is hosted by the DMV Jewish Labor Bund, who organize a potluck meal before the film and lead a discussion afterwards. The movie is subtitled in English, and no knowledge of Yiddish is needed to enjoy it.
