A documentary by Jose Ainouz for the AB group.
Judaism is not a proselyte religion and yet many African communities claim a filiation to this religion. In Mali, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana, South Africa, Rwanda, Ethiopia ...
Some convert to Judaism, others claim a confirmation of their belonging to this religion through their affiliation to lost tribes.
How to explain this African craze for Judaism?

Tudorr Parfitt, Edith Bruder and Shmuel Trigano try to make us understand this phenomenon by referring to the history of decolonization and the quest for identity.

To make this documentary, I went to Nigeria, in the state of Anambra, to meet several communities and listen to these women and men tell us about their Judaism.

Le judaïsme n’est pas une religion prosélyte et pourtant de nombreuses communautés africaines se réclament d’une filiation à cette religion. Au Mali, au Nigeria, en Côte d’Ivoire, au Ghana , en Afrique du sud ,au Rwanda, en Ethiopie…
Certains se convertissent au judaïsme, d’autres réclament une confirmation de leur appartenance à cette religion par le biais de leur filiation aux tribus perdues.
Comment expliquer cet engouement africain pour le judaïsme ?

Tudorr Parfitt, Edith Bruder et Shmuel Trigano essaient de nous faire comprendre ce phénomène en se référant à l’histoire de la décolonisation et la quête de sens identitaire.

Pour réaliser ce documentaire, je suis allé au Nigeria, dans l’état d’Anambra, pour rencontrer plusieurs communautés et écouter ces femmes et ces hommes nous parler de leur judaïsme.
