What people are saying about the film...

Down Home is a wonderful contribution to our understanding of Jewish Life in North Carolina and the South.   Those who watch the film will gain a better understanding of both the distinctive heritage of the state's Jewish community and the wider American experience that Jews shared and helped define.

Well Done

Dr. Walter E. Campbell, historian and film maker

I must tell you how  I loved watching Down Home Jewish Life in NC..what a wonderful DVD..and I  want you to convey my thanks and appreciation to all involed with the production. I grew up in Raleigh and I knew or had heard of the families mentioned. I have been up North for years..but my heart is still in the South.

Again thanks for all the time, work and money that made this DVD what it is..
