The film is directed by Josh Waletzky and produced by the League for Yiddish.

Noted Yiddish writer and painter Yonia Fain (1914-2013) is one of those unique figures whose life story encapsulates a piece of Jewish history. In the film Fain discusses his life in Vilna before the war, his political activism as a Bundist in Warsaw, his years as a refugee in Shanghai, his relationship with Diego Rivera in Mexico, and his career as an art professor and writer in New York.
