documentary film, dir. Piotr Szczepański
77 minutes

17 September, 18:00, The Marek Edelman Dialogue Center in Łódź, address: Wojska Polskiego 83
RESERVATION: miriam@4kultury.pl 

Miriam is a mother of five children, with a sense of mission. She wants to show that Jewish life is still possible in Poland. She comes from an assimilated Jewish family and belongs to the third generation of Holocaust survivors. Additionally, she believes that Poland is not a big graveyard. 

At the age of 20, she decided to return to her roots – she changed her lifestyle and name and joined the Orthodox Jewish Community. However, she has remained the same person, still full of passion for life, who wishes to look into the future instead of dwelling on the past. @miriamfrompoland it’s a two-year intimate observation of the life of a small Jewish community, recorded using the Direct Cinema method  – we observe the world from the perspective of the family. The main topics of the film are identity and affiliation. Who am I? Am I Polish or Jewish, or maybe both? Where is my community?
