DOC NYC: "The Big Cheese"

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 17, 2025

The new documentary "The Big Cheese" follows cheesemonger Adam Jay Moskowitz's hunt for an American protégé to bring home the top cheese prize at the Mondial du Fromage competition. Thusfar, no American cheesemongers have earned the honor. Director Sara Joe Wolansky discusses the film, which is screening as part of the DOC NYC film festival. On Wednesday, November 19, the 9:15 screening will be followed by a Q&A with Wolansky and film subject Adam Moskowitz.
