Chattanooga’s Jewish Film Series offers five films – a buffet of genres from political thriller to romcom crowd pleaser to a feel-good tale of friendship to delight any stoners in one’s life.
That last one is called “Dough” and portrays an elderly Jewish baker in London who’s frantically trying to save his financially foundering business. He hires a young Sudanese refugee who happens to be both a small-time pot dealer and a Muslim.
Despite the differences in age and religion, the men become fast friends. And when a stash of weed is accidentally knocked into the challah dough, the duo are surprised but delighted that the bread is an explosive hit, drawing customers who feel so relaxed and chill after eating a slice.
