Synopsis by Kathryn Tamms

For more than 500 years, Jews were one of the many groups of people who occupied Spain's Iberian Peninsula. While this time was not without persecution against the Jewish people, it was a time of enlightenment for art, education, and culture. Now one of Israel's top male vocalists, Yehoram Gaon, takes the viewer on a musical journey celebrating the rich Sephardic history. Breathtaking scenery, fascinating historical facts, and beautiful landmarks blend together with Gaon's melodic songs to present a fresh view of an ancient culture.
