A Special New York Sephardic Jewish Film Festival New York Premiere:
Between the Stone and the Flower

Between the Stone and the Flower follows the journey of Genie Milgrom, a direct descendant of the Pre-Inquisition Jews of Spain in her quest to uncover her hidden Jewish lineage.
Raised Roman Catholic in Havana, Cuba she made a return to Judaism that shook her family and friends to the core. Her search led her to Medieval archives in several countries and to untangling the web of secrecy that her ancestors created as protection during very dark times in Europe.
This documentary was screened to sold out theatres around the world since its world premiere in Miami Jewish Film Festival earlier this year.
