South of Brooklyn recalls a time when Florida was a sleepy southern state without air conditioning or a tourist industry, when prejudice and the small number of Jewish people made the state an unlikely destination for the coming Jewish migration. This documentary tells the story of Florida’s Jewish presence by looking at the lives of the Jewish pioneers who settled in Miami, Jacksonville, Pensacola and Key West through memories of their descendants.
Narrated by Judd Hirsh, this heart-warming documentary paints a portrait of a strong community bound by its determination to build a future in Florida and keep traditions alive. |
