Summary
Set almost entirely in a Chinese restaurant, DREAMING OF A JEWISH CHRISTMAS is an offbeat, irreverent musical documentary that tells the story of a group of Jewish songwriters, including Irving Berlin, Mel Tormé, Jay Livingston, Ray Evans, Gloria Shayne Baker and Johnny Marks, who wrote the soundtrack to Christianity{u2019}s most musical holiday. It{u2019}s an amazing tale of immigrant outsiders who became irreplaceable players in pop culture{u2019}s mainstream - a generation of songwriters who found in Christmas the perfect holiday in which to imagine a better world, and for at least one day a year, make us believe in it. Nominated for an **International Emmy Award** for Arts Programming. Winner of the Czech Crystal Award at the **Golden Prague International Television Festival.**
