Finally home |
|
Documentary maker Frans Bromet has a Jewish father and felt a feeling of home coming when he was filming in Israel in 1990. Now he makes a 50 minutes documentary about jewish people that returned or will return to the land of Israel. This is called Aliyah, the immigration of Jews from the diaspora to the land of Israel. The return to the Holy Land has been the aspiration of many Jews since the Babylonian exile. Bromet follows and interviews Dutch Jews that already immigrated to Israel and some that plan to immigrate in the near future. He wants to find out why these immigrants feel the need to leave the calm and peacefull Netherlands and start a new life in the holy land, and how this relates to his own feeling of home coming.
Activities: research, set-up, accompany filming in the Netherlands, sound.
