”Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song” with Dayna Goldfine & Dan Geller Top Docs: Award-Winning Documentary Filmmakers

It’s more than a song.  As Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller (“Ballet Russes”, “The Galapagos Affair”) point out in their new documentary, Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” is a journey.  A journey of artistic and spiritual discovery, a 7-year Odyssey of composition, and, once all but lost, an even longer journey to find its place as one of our most admired songs, admiration which take the form of critical praise and popular renditions that can be found in Dreamworks movies and primetime talent shows.  Join Mike as he travels this decades-long path with Dayna and Dan.  
“Hallelujah:  Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song,” from Sony Pictures Classics, is now playing in select cities.
