Finally Home |
|
Only the father of documentary maker Frans Bromet was Jewish, but he 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 doing 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 are in the middle of moving to Isreal permanetnly. 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.
