Favorable review of Birdy, describing it as taking “a lot of chances”.  Describes working-class, South Philadelphia as unlikely setting.  By N. Dlugash

Cipriano interviews Van Blunk and Rosanio about their 15-minute documentary on six synagogues in south Philadelphia, only one of which was active at the time the film was shot.  The film examines the growth and decline of the Jewish population in south Philadelphia and the corresponding closures of synagogues and Jewish businesses.
