Rent this film "Jew Boy Levi"

A peaceful, isolated community is engulfed by the hatred and violence of the outside world in this taut drama set in pre-war Germany. Levi, the Jewish cattle dealer, makes his annual trip to a remote farming village hoping to conduct his business and win the hand of Lisbeth. But the poison of Nazi propaganda has changed the town and threatened Levi and Lisbeth's love, making them a target and time is running out. This award-winning feature debut of documentary filmmaker Didi Danquart from the play by Thomas Strittmatter is a riveting, often shocking tale that, using a stunning tapestry of images, explores the effects of exclusion and hostility with unflinching honesty.
