Abstract "The story of Jews in North Carolina is in many ways the story of the state itself. Jewish settlers in search of opportunity and advancement entered an initially very rural and substantially impoverished region. But North Carolina emerged as the leading New South state in its industry and its often-progressive leadership, and Tar Heel Jews contributed generously to that growth and change. The "Down home" documentary consists of interviews, suggestive re-enactment and narration - an interweaving of carefully selected stories and storytellers, locations, and celebrations that bring this remarkable story to life."--Container.
