Tony Gerber is an award-winning filmmaker who found himself in Bucharest for the One World Romania documentary film festival. After seeing Aliyah Dada, a documentary about the reality behind the Romanian Jew aliyah, and learning about Moinesti he decided to visit our city. His maternal great-grandparents were born in Moinesti and emigrated to the United States. Not sure what he was looking for other than making the pilgrimage, Tony took the train to Bacau for what was to become a deeply touching experience.

Tony also met the Mayor of Moinesti, Viorel Ilie and the Head of Communication, Viorel Florin Costea.
