Bushkida - In Search of the Jewish-Spanish Language

Overview

Bushkida is a documentary film about Judeo-Spanish, also called Ladino. Ladino was the language of the Sephardic Jews, who were expelled from Spain in 1492. It is a miracle that this language is still spoken, despite the many tragedies throughout the ages. With our film we try to understand this miracle by searching for Ladino-speakers and their culture.
