Yves Jeuland’s sweeping new documentary explores the rich and complex history of Jews in France – the first country to grant Jews citizenship – beginning with Revolutionary cries of Vive la France in Yiddish through the explosive Dreyfus Affair, Vichy’s murderous betrayal during WWII, and the absorption of Jews from Arab countries in the 1960s. The film boldly continues into the 21st century, discussing contemporary charges of
rising antisemitism in France. Lushly illustrated with rare archival images and memorable music, Being Jewish in France is poised to become the definitive film on the topic.
