Audience Choice Winner! San Diego, Los Angeles & Palm Beach Jewish Film Festivals

100-year-old Hattie Russ Gold and her sister 92-year-old Anne Russ Federman have life stories that hit all the key notes of the New York Jewish immigrant experience, including a little “tsuris”. They are the two surviving daughters from the famed lox and herring emporium Russ & Daughters on the Lower East Side. The Sturgeon Queens, winner of the Audience Choice Awards at the San Diego and Palm Beach Jewish Film Festivals, is their family’s story. With customers like Morley Safer, Calvin Trillin and Mario Batali, it’s no wonder Russ & Daughters is still going strong 100 years later.

The Sturgeon Queens has been generously underwritten by Linda Krull.
