Carole Basri, a New Yorker of Iraqi descent, has produced a series of
films
on Iraqi Jews. What started out as a project entitled, "The Last Jews of
Baghdad," has grown into a three-part documentary, of which "The Life of
Frank Iny" is the first. In this film, granddaughter Carole Basri
investigates the 200,000 strong flourishing Jewish community of Baghdad
of
the early 1900s as it dwindled to less than 30 today. In the second
film ,
SEARCHING FOR BAGHDAD; A DAUGHTERS JOURNEY, Ms. Basri travels to India,
Hong Kong, Burma and Singapore visiting these various Iraqi Jewish
communities discovering some of her own relatives along the way.
