Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness plot

"Before there was Fiddler, there was Tevye... and the man who created him."

Portrait of the writer whose stories formed the basis for the Broadway musical 'Fiddler on the Roof'; Sholem Aleichem, a rebellious genius who gave literature a new impulse with his work. He helped forge a new Jewish identity from the changes and anti-Semitic violence that dominated Eastern Europe in the 19th century. Rare photos and archival footage, commentary by Peter Riegert and Rachel Dratch, interviews with experts, Aleichem's granddaughter and author Bel Kauffmann bring the world and the writer's timeless stories to life.
