"In 1934, my grandpa Jack told his new bride Gertrude that he was betting their life savings on a newfangled contraption called the coin-operated phonograph. The Jewish 'Coin Men' would make history."
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are still fnishing the film, but will caption the trailer. Just pulling together the resources as you can see at www.jackandthejukebox.com
Yes, I hope so, too. IF you haven't already, Gary, you can activate the caption feature in your browser...in Chrome, that's via a the three vertical dots in upper-rt. corner...then "settings", and then "accessibility" near bottom of far-left, then "manage accessibility features" in the center, and finally, "audio and captions" where you move the buttton l-to-rt. G'luck
Great story and another example of Jewish vision to circumnavigate the choppy waters of discrimination against keeoping Jews out of professions. A nickle in the 30s was an affordable risk. A movie ticket from Hollywood studios also was. It takes poverty to make some hungry enough to think creatively.
I myself was not aware of how much had to be overcome by my grandfather and others. People of generations after, including myself made me look back on this origin story and we were blessed to talk with those who were there, though sadly they are fading from the scene which is why this feels so urgent to tell now.
Greatly appreciate your encouragement as we only really uncovered much of this story in the past few years and thanks to Jewdicious this is the first time it really has been shared to a wider audience.
Is there captioning for the film preview? I presume that the film will be captioned?
