The Jewish Creators of Curious George

I spoke with film director Ema Ryan Yamazaki about her innovative new project, Monkey Business: The Adventures of George’s Curious Creators.  Ms. Yamazaki is currently holding a Kickstarter campaign to fund this film, the story of Jewish refugees H.A. and Margret Rey, creators of George, the indomitable and persistent symbol of childhood adventure.  Most readers of these stories are unaware that H.A. and Margret Rey were German Jews who barely escaped with their lives, but also managed to take the manuscript of George’s first tale.
