Released Friday, March 14 in AMC Theaters Only | Through Thursday, March 20

Directed by Wendy Sachs and starring Debra Messing, Michael Rapoport and Noa Tishby, October 8 exposes the emergence of antisemitism on college campuses, in social media and on the streets since October 7, 2023, when Hamas unleashed its brutal assault on Israel. The film provides an understanding of the shift in the current narrative as it pertains to Israel and how the real story is being silenced. After knocking on door after door to find a distributor in Hollywood and being turned down, AMC miraculously agreed to air October 8 for this week only.

One of the many untold stories about the Sefarad legacy is the fact that Portuguese Jews and New Christians played a pivotal role in the discovery of Brazil. They were among the very first settlers in the country, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to shape Brazil's rich cultural tapestry.

Today, Brazil is home to an estimated 90,000 to 120,000 Jews, but the influence of Jewish heritage extends far beyond this number. Over 50 million Brazilians are descendants of conversos—Jews who were forced to convert to Catholicism during the tumultuous times of Medieval Spain and Portugal. Their stories, struggles, and contributions are an integral part of Brazil’s identity.

To learn more about this extraordinary story, join us as we embark on a virtual journey delivered by a renowned historian, author, and speaker Irene Shaland as she uncovers 500 years of Jewish history woven into the very fabric of Brazil.
