HIWWE WIE DRIWWE – THE ROOTS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH
APRIL 26 and MAY 6 IN KMC MOVIE THEATERS
Two filmmakers from the Palatinate region looked for them and found them — the relatives in America. Around 400,000 people live there and not only speak an old form of the Palatine dialect, Pennsylvania Dutch, but also follow other Palatine habits. The documentary explores traditions of Palatine culture “hiwwe wie driwwe” in Germany and in the USA. About 300 years ago many people from the Palatinate region fled from political persecution and for economic reasons to the USA and settled mainly in and around Pennsylvania. They brought their language and culture to the “New World”. A second part of the successful documentary (with English subtitles) will be presented in the following movies theaters: City Cinema KL April 26 and Provinzkino Enkenbach May 6. Producer Benjamin Wagener will be present to meet and greet those interested at both presentations.
