MIRIAMFROMPOLAND

Miriam Synger is a strong woman in a patriarchal society. She is struggling for her identity as an orthodox Jewess wanting to live in contemporary Poland.

Miriam is a mother of five children who has a mission. She wants to prove that Jewish life is still possible in Poland. Coming from an assimilated Polish family, she is a third generation Holocaust survivor. And she believes that Poland is not a big cementary.

“@miriamfrompoland” is a two years intimate insider look into the life of a small Jewish society in Łódź made with the method of Direct Cinema.

The main topic is the inner conflict of identity. Who am I? A Pole or a Jew or both? Where is my community?
