Running 1h 16m and made in the United States, Broken Barriers (1919) is a Drama film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Alice Hastings and Alexander Tenenholtz; Charles E. Davenport directs. 2 votes put it at 6/10. This 1919 silent is the first American film based on the same Sholem Aleichem stories as Fiddler on the Roof, but produced 50 years before the blockbuster musical. Unlike most adaptations of Aleichem’s work, Broken Barriers (Khavah) focuses not on Tevye the milkman, but on his daughter Khavah, who falls in love with the gentile boy Fedka and must navigate the reverberations from this with both her community and her family.
