Free Diamond
The one-hour film “Neil Diamond: Solitary Man” documents the beginning of the singer’s career as he grew up in a humble Jewish household in Brooklyn. It’s an interesting film, and as an added bonus, you can view it for free — courtesy of the 33rd annual San Francisco Jewish Film Festival! Preceded by the six-minute short “Paddle-Ball,” about the Israeli craze of paddleball on the beach.
