This new 49-minute documentary is about the mass exodus of the approximately one million Jews from Arab countries and Iran in the 20th century. Featuring testimony from Jews who fled Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Morocco, and Iran, the film explores the rich heritage and destruction of the Middle East's age-old Jewish communities.
