Ziveli! Medicine for the Heart

A deep dive into the Serbian American communities of California and Chicago, this typically affectionate documentary from Les Blank explores the historical forces that first brought Serbian settlers to the New World, where they forged a lasting sense of cultural identity that lives on among their descendants. Food, folklore, music, dance, and religion are all part of a rich cultural heritage that Blank captures with a warmth and lived-in intimacy as only he can.
