“ANY SERIOUS FLAW” The Selection in North African Jewry

In July 1950 Israel enacted the Law of Return, which states that every Jew has the right to immigrate to Israel. Less than a year later, the government decided to carry out a selection in North African Jewry and bring only the young and healthy to Israel, leaving behind the sick, the disabled, and the old. The film will address the drama that unfolded around the decision and its effects on Israeli society then and now.
The film is being developed with the support of The New Fund for Cinema and Television and with the support of the Israel Film Council, the Ministry of Culture and Sports.
