Jews for Sale

Set in 1947, this documentary examines the political landscape of Romania as it transitioned under Communist rule while also leading up to the establishment of Israel. The film reveals how both nations sought to negotiate the movement of people for resources, highlighting the unsettling reality of a country effectively selling its own citizens.

Radu Gabrea’s work provides a critical look at the deals made during this tumultuous period. The documentary is not just a historical account but also raises ethical questions about the value of human life against political and economic interests. It invites viewers to reflect on the implications of these decisions in both historical and contemporary contexts.
