A Long Journey: The Hidden Jews of the Southwest
A one-hour film bringing to life the stories of modern-day New Mexican Catholics whose secret was their hidden Jewish roots. Includes the history of their 400-year journey from Spain through Mexico with persecution by the Inquisition, before finally settling in the Southwest. The physical journeys of these secret Jews ended in colonial times, but their internal journeys continue to this day.

Forced to convert to Catholicism so long ago.
The Inquisition had a massive effect on the population of Jewish people in the new world. ‘Crypto-Jews’ or ‘Conversos’ fled population centers to Nuevo Mexico to be able to practice their faith freely. History blooming for us all to see and understand.
Fain conversion, escape, survive, continue being Jewish.
And here we've been. For hundreds of years before the pilgrims arrived.
Tribe of Judah.
