Jewish Britain on Film chronicles extraordinary – and some wonderfully ordinary – scenes of 20th Century Jewish life, unearthed by film archives across the nation.
Synopsis
Narrated by Isy Suttie (Peep Show, Pearl & Dave), the footage includes rare scenes of an Edwardian Petticoat Lane; a wedding in London’s East End in 1925; the defeat of the British Union of Fascists at Cable Street; Britain’s earliest surfing film, an interview with actor Maureen Lipman at the beginning of her career and many more surprising and tender moments in history captured on screen.
Francesca Ter-Berg (Fran & Flora, Sam Lee) provides a beautiful original soundtrack.
