Over a century has passed since Jews began to make their homes in the Cape Town suburb of District Six and memories of their presence has all but disappeared. This film attempts to recover that presence and place it within the kaleidoscope of cultures of what was once Town's most vibrant neighbourhood.
Premiere – South African Jewish Museum, Cape Town
