This Academy Award-winning documentary focuses on the critical post-war period from 1945 – 1948 and the plight of tens of thousands of Jewish survivors and refugees as they tried to reclaim their place in the world. Using rare archival footage and stills, news reels, and interviews, The Long Way Home depicts life in displaced persons camps, the revival of Jewish culture, and the struggle to establish a homeland.
