| In this hilarious spoof of Jewish and Christian stereotypes, Leon, an observant Jewish kid from London finds out that his biological father is actually a Yorkshire pig farmer. He seeks out his birthparents who try their best to make Leon feel at home by learning Yiddish and finding recipes for chicken soup. Considered the first Jewish comedy feature to come out of Britain, Leon the Pig Farmer had its American premiere at the opening night of the Washington Jewish Film Festival in 1992. |
