- Notes
- New French Moroccan immigrants study English with teacher in a JIAS boardroom by repeating phrases and exchanging with teacher. A couple also are interviewed in the second half of the film on learning English, reactions to anti-Semitism, the Canadian Jewish experience in Montreal as seen by the two participants. An older woman watches them speak. Some segments of the interviews are missing - they talk about the Sephardic community in Montreal, JIAS, a comparison between the Quebec and Palestinian independence. Also an interview with the English teacher and her sense of the community. (Montreal Catholic School Commission pays for teachers, but JIAS also provides location and convenience for Jewish participants in the area.)
