From challah to immigration to the wandering Jew trope, Ma Nishma Manitoba is a mid-length documentary that explores Manitoban Jewish stories of identity and history. Filmmakers Johanna Reimer-Henteleff and Sara Bulloch put their own experiences in local context by chatting with several Jewish Manitobans, including a rabbi, politician, artist, Israeli immigrant, and others. Archival materials, illustrations, and stop animations connect history with present-day opinions and stories as Sara and Johanna explore what being Jewish in Manitoba means to them and others.

Ma Nishma Manitoba was created as part of Gimli Film Festival’s Manitoba Project.
