The Los Angeles Times listed the documentary as "a must-see film"[2] and The Hollywood Reporter described the film as "a tremendously moving story, strong in social commitment and deftly woven out of years of footage."

The film was funded by the Sundance Documentary Fund, the San Francisco Foundation, the Lynn and Jules Kroll Fund for Jewish Documentary Film at the Foundation for Jewish Culture, the Pacific Pioneer Fund, the Bay Area Video Coalition, the Women in Film Foundation Film Finishing Fund supported by Netflix, the Jewish Federation of the Greater East Bay, and Jewish Family and Children's Services of San Francisco.
