A fascinating documentary about the survival of Jewish spirit in the Amazon jungle! During the 19th century rubber boom, Moroccan Jews settled in Iquitos, Peru, established a community, married indigenous women, and raised their children as Jews. Today’s descendants have rediscovered their roots and seek to return to Jewish tradition, religion, and to the land of Israel.
