He was difficult, flamboyant, and brilliant. Photographer and scientist Roman Vishniac captured iconic images of Jewish life – from the cafes of pre-war Berlin to the shtetls of Eastern Europe – all before fleeing Nazi Germany to reinvent himself in America. Told through the eyes of his daughter Mara, this documentary reconstructs his dramatic life, complicated relationships, and breathtaking legacy.
