DESCRIPTION/
Their religion is as ancient as time, yet their community has only emerged but a few decades ago. The Hebrew Israelites established themselves in the south of Israel not so long ago in 1969. The migration of his community of African-Americans was primarily driven by the harsh conditions of life in the U.S. ghettos coupled with the desire to create a stronger identity. Over the years, the Hebrew Israelites have come to develop a greater community. Their beliefs and practices are strictly limited to the Law of the Torah - one of these being polygamy. The patriarchal practice of polygamy allows a husband to have more than one wife. This 60-minute film gives us a little glimpse into the life of one family as they induct a second wife and explores the complex community of the Hebrew Israelites.
