Looks at a community of people known as "Sephardis," "Mizrahim," or "Arab Jews." These are people of Jewish religion and Arab culture, who have long found themselves caught between warring world-views. Uprooted virtually overnight at the founding of the modern Israeli state, many Sephardis lost first their homeland and then, with the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, their very cultural identity.
"Une réflexion sur les clichés du Juif et de l'Arabe au cours d'un siècle de cinéma. Le réalisateur rend visite à quatre anciens communistes juifs irakiens vivant aujourd'hui en exil en Israël. Au cours de longs entretiens, ils évoquent leurs itinéraires et prennent position sur les débats politiques au Moyen-Orient. Exilés et assimilés dans un pays naguère ennemi, où se sentent-ils dans leur patrie? Un film autour de notions de territoire et d'identité."

""Une reflexion filmique sur les clichés du "juif" et de "l'arabe" au cours d'un siècle de cinéma, agrémentée des biographies de quatre personnages exceptionnels: quatre communistes judéo-irakiens. "Son of the Sheikh", "Jud Süss", "Exodus", "True Lies". Rudolph Valentino, vedette du cinéma muet, comme noble bédouin. L'image du "juif rapace" au service des nazis. En Palestine, Paul Newman, libérateur juif aux yeux bleus. Un terroriste arabe au teint basané, au nez crochu, qui hurle de façon hystérique, éliminé par Schwarzenegger... Une image déconcertante de la mémoire cinématographique! Arabes juifs? Juifs arabes? Séphardes? Mizrahim? En Israël, depuis quelques années, un débat échauffe les esprits, notamment parmi les intellectuels "mizrahim" (juifs orientaux). Ils critiquent la politique de la génération fondatrice d'Israël dont les revendications coloniales marginalisent et instrumentalisent les juifs arabes."--Film's own Website."@en

"Focuses on the story of four Baghdadi Jews, all former members of the Iraqi Communist Party who were forced to emigrate at Israel's founding. They discuss their lives in Iraq among other Arabs, acclimating to life in Israel, and how their identity as Arabs has changed with time. Also features Professor Ella Shohat, who examines the cliches of Oriental Jews in the history of Israeli cinema."@en
"The forgotten story of four Baghdadi-Jews, all former members of the Iraqi communist party who were forced to emigrate at Israel's founding."
"Forget Baghdad offers a rare glimpse into a community which is little-known but extremely important in light of the current Middle East. Those known as "Sephardis," "Mizrahim," or "Arab Jews", that is people of Jewish religion and Arab culture, who have long found themselves caught between warring world-views. Uprooted virtually overnight at the founding of the modern Israeli state, many Sephardis lost first their homeland and then, with the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, their very cultural identity. At a moment when the United States remains at war in Iraq, and when peace in the Middle East seems more and more out of reach, this especially timely documentary offers a much needed glimmer of sanity and hope."
