Aleeza Chanowitz, Aaron Geva, and Mickey Triest sat down with Solzy at the Movies to discuss Chanshi during the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.

As I said in my interview with Raphael, it’s not lost on me that the chain might not even exist without Carl Laemmle‘s efforts to save Jews from the Holocaust.
