The stories of the exodus, the joys and sorrows lived by my ancestors, everything that makes possible for me to be here today keeping their memory alive and continuing their legacy is a story shared by thousands of Jews around the world. It is a personal story which is both universal. Just as the stories were passed down from generation to generation, I wanted to bring these testimonies to the screen, narrating in the first person everything I had learned, leaving a documentary record for future generations. Because the history of the Jewish people, wherever it may be, is one.
