What happens when Moroccan Jews living in diaspora go ?home?to their ancestral villages?
Filmmaker Kathy Wazana, a Canadian-Arab Jew from Morocco, casts a light on the identity of Arab Jews and challenges the very notion of the concept of who is ?the enemy.? Wazana sets out to discover why hundreds of thousands of Jews left Morocco in the 1960s, believing their Arab homeland had become enemy territory. What she finds is a country still grieving the loss of its Jewish population. Her ?enemy? welcomes her home and claims her as one of their own.
The filmmaker, Kathy Wazana, will be on hand for an audience talkback.
