THE STURGEON QUEENS

Director Julie Cohen in person!

The story of the Jewish immigrant family that created the beloved New York City Lower East Side establishment Russ & Daughters that spans 100 years, 4 generations and 1.8 million lbs of pickled herring!

100-year-old Hattie Russ Gold and her sister 92-year-old Anne Russ Federman have life stories that hit all the key notes of the Jewish immigrant experience: hard work, humor, romance, and a little tsuris. Hattie and Anne are the two surviving daughters from the famed lox and herring emporium Russ & Daughters on the Lower East Side. They are also the stars of The Sturgeon Queens. This documentary  timed to coincide with the store's centennial in 2014  traces four generations of Russ family history, from patriarch Joel Russ, who immigrated to the US from Austria-Hungary with little more than the shirt on his back, to Josh Russ Tupper and Niki Russ Federman, Joel's great grandchildren, now in their 30s, who run the store today. Niki's father Mark Russ Federman, who ran the store from the 1970s until 2008, adds insights from his years researching Russ family history. Well-known enthusiasts of the store are interviewed (with their favorite fish highlighted). They include Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, chef Mario Batali, New Yorker writer Calvin Trillin, and 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer. After seeing this humorous, heartfelt and mouthwatering film, you will certainly leave with an appetite!
