Informative drama, Well researched, Pro labor, Pro immigrant

See it if Once a center for Jewish business, Boyle Heights now part of the Bario. Intertwined stories of opportunities for Jewish & Mexican immigrants

Don't see it if Compassion for immigrants is needed as Jewish entrepreneurs and labor organizers once were.

Predictable, Ambitious, Thought-provoking, Disappointing, Too long

See it if you are interested in labor history. There are Interesting comparisons between Holocaust survivors and undocumented Hispanics.

Don't see it if you dislike long speeches that do not progress the play. The fairly predictable plot seems to exist solely to support the author's opinions.

Don't see it if You'll find a holocaust survivor blind to certain parallels singularly unlikely.

Great acting, Cliched, Banal, Excruciating, Slow

See it if If you want to endure age old anti Semitic tropes equating Jews to Nazis as a vehicle to assault capitalism. Pay half price, only 50% as bad

Don't see it if If you value your money or don’t want to see good acting wasted on a incoherent plot that doesn’t actually match real historical events.
