As we work to uncover the heritage and hidden history of African Americans we bring you a compelling documentary that unravels the complex tapestry of Hebrew and African histories intertwined by fate and forgotten by time. This film explores the heart-wrenching tale of the Hebrew expulsion from Portugal in the late 15th century, delving into the decree by King Manuel I that changed the course of countless lives.
Witness the emotional journey of Hebrew children torn from their families, sent to São Tomé, and thrust into a life of hardship and sugarcane toil. Amidst this dark era, flickers of faith and resilience shine through as these children clandestinely maintain their Hebrew identity against insurmountable odds.
As we weave through generations, the documentary examines the fading echoes of Jewish traditions on São Tomé and poses thought-provoking questions about the descendants' fate during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Were these once-Hebrew lineages cast further into exile as slaves in America? This hypothesis draws viewers into a deep exploration of potential links between the African American community and Sephardic Jewish heritage.
This story not only recounts this historical speculation but also celebrates the survival and perseverance of these communities. Through personal stories, cultural symbols, and unspoken relics, the film paints a vivid picture of human resilience amidst oppression and the enduring bonds of heritage and humanity.
Join us in this enlightening journey as we uncover lost narratives, restore forgotten identities, and pay homage to a shared past that continues to shape our world. This documentary is an invitation to rediscover our collective memory and acknowledge the complex, interconnected fabric of human history. This is the hidden Hebrew heritage of African Americans.
