Life You Think You Own It (2016)
This 5-minute documentary, directed by Ellie Lobovits (IMDb link), and available on YouTube through the Jewish Film Institute, explores themes of identity, art, and mortality through the life and writing of Adrienne Wolfert. This film operates like good lyric poetry, conjuring a depth of feeling out of a few well-chosen words and images. Watch it below!
