Former publisher and marketing executive turned documentary
filmmaker, Gloria Z. Greenfield, founded her own company — Doc Emet Productions
— to afford herself the freedom to work on the projects and subjects that she
wanted to explore.
Her latest film project, the award-winning Body
and Soul: The State of the Jewish Nation, has been working the festival
circuit since the autumn of 2014 and will now be making its way to the wider
viewing arena of DVD on June 28. Indie
Rights Movies, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD
Entertainment Group, will be handling the domestic release.
Daniel M. Gold of The New York Times referred to
Greenfield’s film as “…concise, skillful recounting of the story of the Jewish
people and their connection to the land of Israel.” That pretty much nails it … simple and
direct.
She has recruited experts to provide insights and commentary
— including the likes of Bret Stephens (Pulitzer Prize-winner, editor in chief
of The Jerusalem Post and author of the 2014 book, America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder),
Victor Davis Hanson (military historian and author of such books as The Western Way of War: Infantry Battle in
Classical Greece, Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise of Western
Power and Between War and Peace:
Lessons from Afghanistan and Iraq), Ruth Wisse (Professor of Yiddish
Literature at Harvard University and author of If I Am Not For Myself: The Liberal Betrayal of the Jews and Jews and Power) and famed attorney and constitutional
law scholar, Alan Dershowitz ... among others.
For history buffs and those looking for a concise history of
Israel Body and Soul: The State of the Jewish Nation is well-worth a
look when it becomes available on DVD on June 28.
