MARCELLA | the first documentary about the remarkable life of the Godmother of Italian Cooking, Marcella Hazan 🇮🇹🍝

More than a culinary icon, Marcella was a pillar of resilience whose life story is presented in this captivating film. Overcoming early life challenges, including the loss of full function in her right hand, Marcella went on to earn a dual doctorate in the sciences before immigrating to New York. The film takes us on a dramatic, emotional, and delicious journey through her improbable, inspiring life story.

So thrilled that Shaina Taub won TWO Tony Awards last night for her work on the brilliant Suffs musical. A decade ago, we had the pleasure of filming Shaina's work with theater legend Liz Swados on the musical Sosua Dare to Dance Together.
