Children of the Inquisition
A film directed by Joseph F. Lovet.
2019 / 120 minutes
Children of the Inquisition is a re-examination of history and identity. The film looks at what happened to the families forced to convert to Catholicism or flee during the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions, through the eyes of their contemporary descendants, many of whom are just discovering their often-nuanced Jewish roots.
