About Yonia Fain and the film
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. This film is an unscripted interview
between Sheva Zucker and Fain, enhanced by Fain's artwork, photo stills and
music.
