In Heaven Underground - 16th Annual Hartford Jewish Film Festival

An enchanting journey into history that celebrates life and the immortality of memories, this is the story of the peaceful and secluded 130-year-old Weissensee Jewish Cemetery, the oldest Jewish burial ground in Europe and still in use. It features a delightful array of characters: mourners, tourists, a young family residing at the cemetery, a third-generation gravedigger and an ornithologist studying rare
birds of prey.
