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.
