Produced by Amythos Media Inc., Alegria Productions and T.A.M.I.

About the film
The exile of the Jews following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD has played a principal role in the Christian and Jewish traditions. But what if it never happened? That is the central question raised by Exile: A Myth Unearthed, which travels from Sepphoris to Masada, from Jerusalem to the catacombs of Rome in its investigation, and features interviews with leading historians and archaeologists such as Zeev Weiss and Seth Schwartz. The film also follows a group of tourists in Israel who hear the traditional interpretation of events such as the siege of Masada—an interpretation that stands in sharp contrast to recent evidence.
Exile: A Myth Unearthed (97 min) was directed by Ilan Ziv and produced by Amit Breur (Amythos Media Inc.), Serge Gordey (Alegria Productions), Colette Loumède (NFB) and Ilan Ziv (T.A.M.I. Productions).
