Synopsis:
Not your typical music documentary, Silver Jew is an intimate portrait of reclusive poet/musician David Berman, the guiding force behind one of indie rock's most revered bands, the Silver Jews. In the midst of their first ever world tour, Berman, his wife Cassie, and the rest of the group traveled to Israel to play two shows and visit Jerusalem.
