This special Miami Jewish Film Festival presentation of the made-in-Miami film Between the Stone and the Flower, featuring acclaimed author and film subject Genie Milgrom, made its world premiere at last year's Festival. The film chronicles the remarkable odyssey of Milgrom as she embarks on a decades-long quest to uncover her Jewish lineage. Born in Havana and raised in Miami, her education was steeped in Roman Catholicism. Confronting the choice to transition from her traditional Catholic family to embracing Judaism, Milgrom ultimately opts for an Orthodox path. This event is free and open to the public.
