About this Event

A Forgotten Exodus – London Film Premiere

This is a unique opportunity to see A Forgotten Exodus, a two-part documentary made by the Dutch film-maker Marcel Prins. The film has been broadcast on the Dutch television channel NPO.

With the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, the situation of almost a million Jews, whose communities had been settled in the region for millennia, deteriorated.

Eight former refugees, born in Baghdad, Aleppo, Tripoli, Fez, Cairo, Aden and Sana’a tell how they were forced to flee as children or teenagers to Israel. They talk about how the atmosphere changed and how they were forced to travel (most illegally) by truck, boat or plane out of their countries of birth.

Their stories are brought to life with animation and film clips rarely seen before.

For several interviewees, the horrors of 7 October 2023 brought back memories of anti-Jewish violence and terror in Arab countries. The experiences they describe are more relevant than ever.

After the screening, we will be joined for a Q&A by the film director, Marcel Prins, who will be flying in from Utrecht, Holland.
