Sepharad

Portugal 2019 | 90 minutes | Portuguese, English, Hebrew | Hebrew, English subtitles

Sepharad recounts the story of the Jews in Portugal from the Inquisition in 1496 till the present. The Jewish community officially disappeared, although in many villages, Crypto-Judaism remained alive. The Crypto-Jews lived in complete isolation for generations believing that they were the last Jews on earth. As they finally reconnect with their fellow Jews, and with the arrival of many refugees from Nazi-Occupied Europe, Portugal becomes a vibrant Jewish center once more.
