Description

Student documentary focussing on the lives of young Jewish people who have grown up in Manchester. Contributors talk about the large Jewish community in the city and the importance of Judaism to their everyday lives and to their own sense of identity. Topics include their friendships and values, their levels of religious commitment, involvement in charity work and youth groups, the importance of the family in Jewish culture and links with Israel. Features streetscenes in Prestwich as well as shots of social and religious events.
