Description

A 2020 Boston Jewish Film Festival Favorite! 

Neta Elkayam and Amit Haï Cohen create music that evokes both their Israeli identities and their Judeo-Moroccan heritage. Through a musical tour of Morocco, the couple attempts to bridge the dissonance in these identities, heal their parents’ wounds of exile, and take in their grandparents’ homeland. With a rich soundtrack of traditional songs, In Your Eyes, I See My Country tells the story of Moroccan Jewry, of a time when Jews and Muslims lived together, and of what was lost and what lives on. 

 

Introduction by film subjects Neta Elkayam and Amit Haï Cohen included with purchase of ticket.
