Sephardic Farewell/Ancestors
Late fifteenth century Spain, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand issue the Expulsion Edict, all Non- Catholics have two choices, convert to Catholicism or leave Spain with nothing. The Monarchs provide Columbus with funds for his first exploratory sea voyage.
Against the historic sweep of Columbus' first voyage, the expulsion of the Jews and the exploration of the New World, Sephardic Farewell relates the story of two families-one choosing to remain in Spain as Catholics, the other leaving Spain for Turkey in order to keep their Jewish roots alive.
