DIVAN premieres Sunday on cable's Sundance Channel
Before the DVD is released this summer, try catching Pearl Gluck's docu on the Sundance Channel. I saw after meeting her before the screening in a nearby bar in San Francisco. What a whirlwind of film, personality and love!

Documentary filmmaker Pearl Gluck embarks on a journey into family history in this engaging and spirited memoir. The daughter of Hasidic parents who divorced when she was young, Gluck slowly gravitated toward the secular. Now, Gluck explores her relationship with her devout father and travels to Eastern Europe to track down a treasured family heirloom — a legendary couch with a mystical history. In the process, she is forced to balance her longing for meaningful ancestral connections with a desire to remain true to her values. TVPG (AL) CCAP/Stereo
