Full Description
The remote "mountain Jews" of north Azerbaijan, were granted their own land and community at the beginning of the 18th century and continue today to preserve their unique way of life-and excellent relations with local Muslim communities. The filmmaker's vision is uniquely poignant. As a former resident of the Jewish town of Kresnia Sloboda, she has a deep connection to the people and customs she depicts; yet she is also able to see it as an outsider, critically and clearly.
