Film Presentation by Kenny Mann

Documentary Film presentation and Q&A with the filmmaker of "Beautiful Tree, Severed Roots," Kenny Mann, a Sag Harbor resident. This film has been screened at Bay Street Theater among other venues.

Mann: “On one level, this film is about my parent's extraordinary lives and achievements in Africa as Jewish refugee immigrants to Kenya during World War II. On another level, it is about being the daughter of such parents, living dual and triple lives as a white person in an African country, an Eastern European in a British Colony; and a Jew who didn't know how to be Jewish. On a universal level, it is about identity, place, displacement, loss, remembering, forgetting, documenting, assimilating, not assimilating.”
