An ancient land. A lost language. This is a true story of a wayward son who never knew what he and his father shared until they embarked on an epic journey into their family’s extraordinary past. Ariel Sabar’s father, Yona, was born in a mud hut in the remote Kurdish region of Northern Iraq. They travel to today’s war-torn Iraq in a quest to rediscover a forgotten land. As Ariel retraces his father’s footsteps, he brings to life the eccentric characters, extraordinary determination, and fascinating historical odyssey of the Kurdish Jews.
