Free Country (A Tribute to Rob Reiner)
TJFF presents a rare opportunity to see the late Rob Reiner’s delightful and rarely-shown 1978 sitcom Free Country, a passion project he made right after All In the Family. Reiner stars as an 89-year-old Lithuanian-Jewish immigrant, recalling his younger self--also played by Reiner--on the Lower East Side at the turn of the last century. Though short-lived, the sitcom “deserves a footnote in the Rob Reiner filmography as the start of the multi-hyphenate artistry.” (Thomas Doherty, The Hollywood Reporter)
