Full Description
Featuring the residents of the Jewish Home, San Francisco and the inspiration of singer/songwriter, Judith-Kate Friedman, this delightful movie documents the creative process of our elders as they write original music, rehearse and perform. Judith-Kate Friedman is the Home's songwriter-in-residence as well as a solo artist and member of Vocolot, a women’s a cappella ensemble. She started the songwriting program through a grant from the California Arts Council to enable residents to sing their stories and to create a legacy of songs about their lives.
