Interview with an Indie: Amir Moverman

On our second-ever IWAI, documentarian Amir Moverman discusses the concept short that he's in process of expanding to feature length. His goal? To catalog each of the 86 synagogue locations on the island of Manhattan. From the unorthodox inception of the idea to his deep affection for the city and how Jewishness fits in the mix, Amir tells all in his trademark blend of sincerity and wit.
