An Unknown Country: The Jewish Exiles of Ecuador

A truly thoughtful film that takes us through the unlikeliest of journeys. Ms. Zelig has managed to combine historical accounts of displaced people and families in a way that is both informative and empathetic. As a person who can trace ancestry to these families' stories, I can say that this film has transformed my understanding of complex and tragic events that have shaped my family history. But the film stands on its own for anyone interested in contemplating the intersection of history, migration, and family connections.
