FESTIVAL SCREENINGS
OFFICIAL SELECTION San Francisco Jewish Film Festival 2008
Yves Jeuland’s sweeping new documentary explores the rich and complex history of Jews in France – the first country to grant Jews citizenship – beginning with Revolutionary cries of Vive la France in Yiddish through the explosive Dreyfus Affair, Vichy’s murderous betrayal during WWII, and the absorption of Jews from Arab countries in the 1960s to charges of rising anti-semitism in the 21st century. Lushly illustrated with rare archival images and memorable music.
