Swing Me To The End Of Life

Echoes of Johnny and Jones

A 49 min. documentary about the pre-war Dutch singing duo, Johnny and Jones, their talent, loyalty and their fate.
During the three years of production, in which we followed the creation process of a musical about Johnny and Jones in Holland, we also met David Natale, an American playwright/actor who created his one man show about Kamp Westerbork and Johnny and Jones. More than that: our research discovered the widow of ‘Jones’ who survived the camps.
David performed Johnny and Jones’ songs for her, 'Westerbork Serenade', in her retirement home in San Francisco.

Swing Me to the End of Life, Echoes of Johnny and Jones was broadcast by the Joodse Omroep in August, 2011.

It was nominated to the Jewish Eye Film Festival in Israel, 2012
