The Jewish Americans

THE JEWISH AMERICANS, a three-part documentary series written and directed by the Emmy Award-winning filmmaker David Grubin, examines the struggle of a tiny minority to make its way into the American mainstream. While the story of Jewish life in America is emblematic of the American immigrant story, it is also a unique story of ongoing discrimination and stereotyping coupled with some of the most remarkable accomplishments in American history, the arts, commerce, science and academia.

The Documentary Follows 350 Years of Jewish American History, From the First Settlement in the 17th Century to the Present, and Explores the Experience of Immigration and Assimilation.
