TEARS OF STONE – Film Screening - A New Film by IVOR PYRES
‘Tears of Stone’ is the poetic reflections of child Holocaust survivor, Cantor Estherleon Schwartz, who rises above hateful circumstances to emerge as a voice for peace and unity.
Estherleon persevered over a life stacked against her from her first breath and has been a creative voice for the unaffiliated who constantly seeks to bring peace and unity to the world. This artistic new documentary explores the evolution of a woman who rises from the ashes of hate and frames a very complex woman and multi-faceted artist in a bespoke context. Director Ivor Pyres has creatively woven a digital memoir in a way that offsets a grim subject matter.
Based on the book, “Tears of Stone and my deal with God,” Pyres presents a rather linear journey through Estherleon’s life taking us through a tempest path evolving toward fulfilling her father’s wishes and her deal with God.
