Shalom Bollywood: The Untold Story of Indian Cinema

Director: Danny Ben – Moshe
Narrator: Ayesha Dharkar

Shalom Bollywood reveals the unlikely story of the 2000-year-old Indian Jewish community and its formative place in shaping the world’s largest film industry. When Indian cinema began 100 years ago it was taboo for Hindu and Islamic women to perform on screen, so Jewish women took on female lead roles, which they dominated for decades. The film focusses on the lives of five of the great Jewish actors. Infused with music and dancing, the cheekily told documentary unabashedly oozes Bollywood as it uses film motifs to drive the narrative

The film can be accessed for viewing on 11th June 2020 from 18:00 to until 12th midnight after which it will be closed
