With cheese sampling and a brief introduction

Yves Jeuland's masterful, sweeping new documentary explores the rich and complex history of Jews
in France, the first country to grant Jews citizenship. Beginning with Revolutionary cries of Vive la
France in Yiddish, the film explores the explosive Dreyfus Affair, the Vichy government's collaboration
with the Nazis, and the absorption of Sephardic Jews from Arab countries in the decades after WWII.
Being Jewish in France confidently continues into the 21st century, investigating charges of rising
antisemitism and the county's complex attitudes toward Israel.

French with English subtitles.
