My Friend Sam

My Friend Sam

Singer-songwriter Regina Spektor’s life changed forever when, as a child, she was taken under the wings of musicians Sonia Vargas and Samuel Marder. The film tells the life story of Marder, violinist and Holocaust survivor. Now in his 90’s he has made it a mission to speak to children about the dangers of prejudice and the importance of being kind. Grounded in their profound intergenerational friendship, this inspirational tale shows the healing and connective power of music.

Directed by Daniel Ryan (USA)
