The plight of Ethiopia's African Jewish community was relatively unknown when Americans first learned of the Falashas in the 1980s. We hear about a film exploring the history, politics, and resettlement of Black Jews in the Holy Land, and meet the lead actor who was airlifted to Israel at the age of 12.
