Director: Roberto Otero, English and Spanish with Hebrew subtitles.
This documentary by Genie Milgrom covers her quest for her Jewish lineage. Born in Cuba, Genie was raised a Catholic in Miami. Her story follows many twists and turns as she makes the difficult decision to convert to Judaism. Her chase for the “breadcrumbs” that were dropped by her ancestors led her to Medieval Archives and several countries in Europe to untangle the web of secrecy that her ancestors had created to protect themselves during very dark times in Europe. Together with her husband Michael, an Ashkenazi of Romanian origins, she finally reaches the truth of her family in an engaging film.
This is the first appearance of the film in Israel. It has participated in various film festivals – the Miami Jewish Film Festival,
Berlin Independent Film Festival, No Boundaries Film Festival, where it won an award, the Sacramento Jewish Film Festival – to name just a few.
