Welcome Home

Only the father of Dutch documentary maker Frans Bromet was Jewish, but he felt a feeling of home coming when he was filming in Israel in 1990. He decided to make a one hour documentary about Jewish people that returned or will return to Israel. This is called doing Aliyah, the immigration of Jews from the diaspora to the land of Israel.

The return to the Holy Land has been the aspiration of many Jews since the Babylonian exile. Bromet follows and interviews Dutch Jews that already immigrated to Israel and some that are in the middle of moving to Israel permanently. He wants to find out why these immigrants feel the need to leave the calm and peaceful Netherlands and start a new life in Israel, and how this relates to his own feeling of home coming.

For this documentary Featurez did part of the research, set-up and planning, the accompaniment of the filming and the sound.
