A short film on the dwindling Jews of Cochin

Here is a seven and a half minute short film on the Jews of Cochin released by Religion and Ethics Newsweekly - Hosted by veteran journalist Bob Abernethy and produced by Thirteen/WNET New York.

 The video features interviews with my friends Elias (Babu) Josephai, caretaker of the Kadavumbhagam Synagogue in Ernakulam, and Prof. C. Karmachandran, who heads the Mala Heriage Committe now fighting for preserving Jewish monuments in the beautiful settlement of Mala.

The video and transcript can be seen in full at: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/2016/05/13/jews-cochin-india/30450/
