The Passengers
Synopsis
The Passengers tells the story of the Ethiopian
Jews, and the struggle for this final community to
immigrate to Israel. The film follows the journey of
two young men as they represent their abandoned
community on a fateful mission in America. With
intimate access and detailed historical context, we
follow the unlikely spokesmen out of Ethiopia for
the first time in their lives, as they deal with intense
pressure, homesickness and ups and downs of a
grassroots campaign, while growing personally from
the life-changing journey.
Director Ryan S. Porush will attend the screening.
