About
Filmed at great personal risk, this documentary exposes the plight of "the last tribe of Israel", the Falashas of Ethiopia. They are persecuted by the Ethiopians for being Jewish and subject also to Israeli discrimination. The impoverished Falashas live in tiny, mountainous villages where the film crew found them practicing their religion in isolation, as they have done for the past 2,000 years. These Ethiopian Jews long to go to Zion, but the government will not allow them to emigrate and deals harshly with those who endeavor to escape.
