Jew'els of Spain

Description

We are developing a documentary TV series that will portray the world’s history and the most significant events that led to the Sephardic Jewish community's expulsion from Spain in 1492 and their journey to foreign lands searching for a new home. It will start at the end of the 13th century, and it will travel to the present time across 8 countries showing how they departed and how they preserved their customs, traditions and language for more than 500 years. The objective is to create an audiovisual piece that will collect all the information scattered in books by different authors and scholars, archives, stories transmitted by oral tradition and many other sources and broadcast it in every medium available to preserve the history of the Sephardic Jews for future generations.
