The Screen Guide

Since First Fleet days, Jews arriving in Australia have made their home in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton. Many Eastern European Jews living there chose not to join the cultural melting pot, keeping their language, religion, culture and traditions. This documentary looks at the way they struggled to ensure the survival of these traditions, and the conflicts they encountered with Melbourne's well-established German-Anglo Jewish community.
