Inspired by images of the magnificent wooden synagogues of eighteenth-century Poland—the last of which were destroyed by the Nazis—artists Rick and Laura Brown of Handshouse Studio set out to reconstruct a replica of the stunning Gwozdziec synagogue. Raise the Roof tells the story of their remarkable ten-year project, completed with a team of 300 artisans and students using only period hand tools and techniques. The replica is now the centerpiece of the new POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.

2015, USA, 85 minutes, color, English and Polish with English subtitles. Director: Hilla Medalia.
