“One of the most pleasant and refreshing<br />
surprises of the contemporary<br />
Romanian cinema … personal, very well<br />
documented and intelligently presented.”<br />
— Film Magazine, Romania<br />
This rich tale of love and hate uncovers<br />
the 100 year old story of the Romanian<br />
Jews’ return to the Holy Land, and delves<br />
into the adventures of the first settlers<br />
who abandoned their lives in Eastern<br />
Europe at the end of the nineteenth century,<br />
leaving their quiet community in Moinești<br />
to establish one of the first kibbutzim.<br />
Unfolding like a twisted fable, Aliyah Dada<br />
richly captivates with dark and disturbing<br />
revelations, including the trade of Romanian<br />
Jews to Israel during the regime of the<br />
Romanian Communist Party and the deaths<br />
of 13,000 Jews in Iași.<br />
