Out of the Melting Pot

Synopsis: The Jewish-American community of Los Angeles is confident enough of its American identity to be rediscovering and reasserting its Jewishness. This film uses actuality, personal testimony and expert opinion to explore this new confidence and to ask whether being more Jewish means being less American. It concludes that being American is the best way to be Jewish.
