Jew Town

FREE!
After his mother-like figure Sarah Cohen passed away, Thaha Ibrahim dedicates his life to the legacy of Sarah Aunty”s embroidery shop in Kochi, India, where the once robust Jewish community is now dwindling.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: A touching story from a part of the world with few Jews today. One non-Jewish man keeps alive the Jewish heritage of his area.
