The Documentary Streit's: Matzo and the American Dream


Located in New York City, Streit's matzo factory produces 40% of the nations matzo, a unleavened Jewish bread that reminds me of the flat bread Swedish tunnbröd. Having been located in the same building since 1925, the documentary "Streit's: Matzo and the American Dream" by filmmaker Michael Levine will be a very unique and historic document since Streit's is about to relocate to a plant in Bergen County.



A great complement to this feature documentary film is the "short-documentary" by Martha Stewart visiting the factory:
