Re-Emerging Films’ documentary film, “RE-EMERGING: The Jews of Nigeria” has been heralded by film critics for its fascinating exploration of identity, ancestry, faith and belief as seen through the growing and little-known community of Igbo Jews in the West African nation of Nigeria.
The 2014 Academy Award-qualifying film opened at New York’s Quad Cinema in May, 2013 and at LA’s Laemmle Theatres – following advance screenings at film festivals in Washington, Boston, Toronto, Vancouver, Israel, after first debuting at New York’s prestigious 92nd Street Y.
The New York Times, NPR, Hollywood Reporter, BBC, Village Voice, Newsday and Indiewire have all praised the film’s innovative storytelling, unique musical mash-ups, and thorough research into a largely unknown and rich past.
“Their evident joy in judaism is moving and unexpected.”
“An uplifting portrait of an exuberant subculture that doesn’t just practice its faith — it revels in it.”
“Delivers a vibrant portrait of a fascinating subculture.”
“Re-Emerging is one of the must-see Documentaries of 2013.
Take notice.”
