A Home on the Range: The Jewish Chicken Farmers of Petaluma. Prod. by Bonnie Burt and Judith Montell. Bonnie Burt Productions, 2002. 56 mins. (Bonnie Burt Productions, 2600 Tenth St., Suite 256, Berkeley, CA 94710; 510-548-1745; <http://www.bonnieburt.com> [Sept. 17, 2003])

This cute film bears a strong resemblance to a family video history. The star storytellers are the Jewish neighbors, relatives, and friends who grew up on their families' chicken ranches in twentieth-century Petaluma, California. They relate their ancestors' journeys to America during the great wave of eastern European immigration at the start of the century, and they reminisce about their childhoods, talking about what it was like to grow up Jewish in a small rural California town during a time when to be Jewish was to be set apart.
