How To Watch “How Saba Kept Singing”
The feature documentary about my family
“How Saba Kept Singing” is now available EVERYWHERE!
You can find the full version on YouTube, and I’ve also posted it to the very top of my website at >>aviwisnia.com<< so you don’t have to go searching.
This is the Director’s Cut, the same version that has been screened in theaters, with over 20 additional minutes that could not fit on TV for the PBS broadcast – this version includes more songs, music by both me and my Saba, more details, more context, and a pretty decent joke about a first-class banana.
After the premiere on PBS, the producers at Retro Report have decided this story is too important and should be accessible to everyone. And we agree.
I hope everyone gets to see this film, to take it in to your hearts, to think about it and talk about it, and to meet my Saba. If you missed it on PBS, or if you just want to see it again and SHARE it – now you can!
The world needs to hear this story. Watch it HERE.
