"Bob & Hazel” is a powerful documentary about a 60-year interracial love story that defied the racial boundaries of 1960s America, overcoming relentless challenges of bigotry, war, and societal rejection.
What do Atlantic City, New Jersey; Fort Hood, Texas; and Vietnam have in common? Each of these iconic places—steeped in history and struggle—challenged Bob and Hazel Levy in their journey together. But their love was unbreakable.
This powerful documentary explores the 60-year interracial relationship between Bob Levy, Sr. (white) and Hazel Washington Levy (black), whose love defied the racial boundaries of 1960s America. From societal rejection and family estrangement to the perils of war, Bob and Hazel’s love endured relentless challenges.
