THE TREE OF LIFE Documentary, 76 min., 2008 New Release Written and directed by Hava Volterra The history of the Jews in Italy is beautifully inter-woven into the director's personal and moving story. Los Angeles based director, Hava Volterra, tries to come to terms with her father's death by traveling to Italy, the land of his birth, to trace the roots of the family tree. With the help of her feisty 82 year old aunt, her father's sister, she travels persistently from city to city, digging through ancient manuscripts and interviewing a wide range of quirky scholars, to piece together the fascinating and humorous stories of her Italian Jewish ancestors. As Hava continues her journey, her aunt begins to come to terms with her own past, and plans a trip to find and thank the family who hid her and Hava's father during WWII. This documentary is indispensable for students of Jewish history. The film is an important stepping stone in the understanding of a unique and complex Jewish community. "The Tree of Life" will be a significant contribution to any collection of Jewish film. Both utterly hilarious and emotionally gripping, "The Tree of Life" is a fresh look at history in the most immediate of ways. Already purchased by UCLA and the University of Maryland, "The Tree of Life" is a worthy addition to your department and library.
