“A wiry, youthful performer and filmmaker, Lerman is an ingratiating presence as she energetically traces family history by transforming into her grandmother as a child, a woman, an elder.”
“Lerman appreciates not only inheriting the stories Cyla left her, but also her spirit. ‘She was a strong, brave woman and in order to survive she had to fight for it,’ Lerman says. ‘She alsoleft me that legacy of standing up, and fighting back.'”
