Shalom Putti
A documentary by Tamás Wormser
When a small Jewish community in rural Uganda meets Orthodox rabbis from the Israeli settlements, everyone is transformed. Filmed over seven years, Tamás Wormser’s feature documentary explores identity, religion and the long shadow of colonialism with nuance, unease and startling beauty.
