Doing Jewish: A Story From Ghana

Feature Documentary & 45 mins broadcast

Four Corners Productions, Vision TV

Credits: Writer, Director Producer

When Gabrielle Zilkha, a Canadian filmmaker working in Accra, Ghana, gets a call from her mother telling her that she’s found Jews for her to celebrate Rosh-Hashanah with, she sets off across the country to find the tiny but vibrant Sefwi Jewish community. Filming over the course of five years, Zilkha observes this small African Jewish community’s efforts to develop and strengthen its identity. She brings us along on her journey to better understand what it means to belong to the Jewish people and why some people’s Judaism is questioned while that of others is taken at face value.

This personal documentary is a warm, fascinating and often humorous study of identity and connection - shedding light on what it means to belong to the Jewish people.

“Highly recommended.”

- John Doyle, The Globe and Mail

“…a fascinating , engaging and inspiring story of Jewish renewal”

- Bernard Starr, The Huffington Post

This compelling exposé takes a look at three female DJs who are unapologetically disrupting the Toronto hip-hop scene. The film chronicles the journey of women who are pursuing their passions and crafting their careers in a male-dominated industry. From the up-and-coming independent curator to the global powerhouse, these creatives have crafted a brand for themselves as industry leaders, without compromising who they are. It is the weirdos and nonconformists who are now redefining what it means to be a woman of colour in hip-hop. "Badassery" examines the social, political and cultural factors that enabled and empowered their success, such as the growing economization of social media, the rise of independent artists, and beauty as capital.
