"Wiley was especially interested in depicting Ethiopian Jews, many of whom were born in Africa and spoke with him about their identity as Israelis and Africans. 'There's also a very strong corollary between the state of Israel and the American experiment around all of these people from different parts of the globe trying to fashion an identity together and being shoved together in the same nation, sort of all being considered equally Israeli,' Wiley explained. 'It doesn’t always make for an easy fit, and I think that’s one of the things that resonates, really, with me.'"
