Advice And Dissent
A
frustrated businessman tries to end his hopeless marriage by asking his
local Rabbi to place a curse on his wife. The Rabbi refuses, but gives
the man peculiar advice on how to do away with his wife, setting into
motion a series of unexpected events.
This black comedy stars veteran actor Eli Wallach and Mad About You's John Pankow.
Nowhere In Africa
A love story spanning two continents, Oscar© winning NOWHERE IN AFRICA
is the extraordinary true tale of a Jewish family who flees the Nazi regime
in 1938 for a remote farm in Kenya. Abandoning their once-comfortable
existence in Germany, Walter, his wife Jettel and their five-year-old
daughter Regina each deal with the harsh realities of their new life in
different ways. Attorney Walter is resigned to working the farm as a caretaker;
pampered Jettel resists adjustment at every turn; while the shy yet curious
Regina immediately embraces the country-learning the local language and
customs, and finding a friend in Owuor, the farm's cook.
Quest For the Lost Tribes
2700 years ago, brutal Assyrian forces swept through the kingdom of Israel.
When they finally pulled out, only two of 12 Israelite tribes remained.
But what happened to the other 10? Join two-time Emmy Award winning director
and real-life "Indiana Jones" Simcha Jacobovici as he travels
to far-flung, exotic and sometimes perilous locales, tracing the forced
migration of the Lost Tribes across the Middle East and Asia. Sifting
through speculation, sorting through evidence, Jacobovici illuminates
why the story of the Lost Tribes has been one of the most fascinating,
enduring and elusive mysteries of all time.
