Cuba’s Forgotten Jewels: A Haven in Havana

Directed by Robin Truesdale and Judy Kreith
Boulder, Colorado USA

“Cuba’s Forgotten Jewels” was born of the tales that Marion Kreith told her daughter, co-director Judy Kreith, over the years. Marion escaped war torn Europe as a young girl with her family, evading Nazi capture and crossing the Atlantic to a tropical paradise. In this film, her story mingles with the personal accounts of other refugees who recall their escape to Havana and the challenges they face in an exotic and unfamiliar land. With a stunning musical score of Jewish melodies and the pulsating music of Havana, the film merges the realities of two vastly different yet intermingled cultures, bringing this colorful and uplifting piece of history to light.

Please visit our fiscal sponsor, The National Center for Jewish Film , to support our film project.
Thank you!
