When Indian cinema began 100 years ago it was taboo for Hindu and Islamic women to perform on screen\, so Indian Jewish women took on the female leadroles\, which they dominated for decades. Film clips from the era share the infectious\, signature singing and dancing style known as Bollywood. The documentary introduces Sephardic history in India and then focuses on the lives of five of the greatest Jewish actors from the period.\n2018\, 76 minutes\, English\, Danny Ben-Moshe
