Watch Jews of Egypt
April 22, 2013is a controversial film about Egyptian Jews’ second exodus after the 1956 tripartite attacks. The documentary portrays the lives of the Jewish community in Egypt before and after 1956 in “an attempt to understand the change in the identity of the Egyptian society that turned from a society full of tolerance and acceptance of one another [into] a society that rejects the other,” the filmmakers say. It is also a reflection of the cosmopolitan life in Egypt during that period and how it came into the more conservative state it is in now.
Written by Amir Ramses and Mostafa Yousef and directed by Amir Ramses.
The film is shown at Renaissance Nile City and Sun City in Cairo and San Steffano in Alexandria.
