From the dust of Oklahoma to lox and bagels on Coney Island, Dust Bowls and Jewish Souls shows a whole new side of America troubadour Woody Guthrie that will forever change your mind about one of American’s most well-known musicians, songwriters and cultural icons.

“I’ll never forget the moment when I first discovered that Woody Guthrie had written some songs for Hanukkah” said the film’s director/producer Steven Pressman who focuses on Woody’s relationship with his mother-in-law Aliza Greenblatt, famed Yiddish poet, immigrant and mother of Guthrie’s wife Marjorie, a Martha Graham dancer.

The film features a musical soundtrack that ranges from Guthrie compositions to klezmer and Yiddish folk.
