St. Louis Jewish Film Festival - Exodus 91

This hybrid documentary film follows Israeli diplomat, Asher Naim, on a seemingly insurmountable mission to bring 15,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel. As Asher learns more about these African Jews, he finds himself between worlds and facing a crisis of faith in himself and his country. Is his government acting out of altruism towards their fellow Jews or is it using the issue as part of an elaborate publicity stunt against claims that Zionism is Racism.
