The Mystery of San Nicandro is a compelling story that unfolded in Fascist Italy, of a simple Italian man, Donato Manduzio, who had a mystical vision that resulted in the only mass conversion to Judaism in modern history.
But it is much more: today, there is an extraordinary revival of Judaism in southern Italy - synagogues have opened in Calabria and Sicily for the first time in 500 years - centuries after the Spanish Inquisition forced Jewish communities to convert to Catholicism or flee.
This eye-opening film takes us on a journey of identity search, revealing some of the hidden Jewish facts of Italy – present and ancient past.
North Americans are fuelling this revival as they travel to the most Catholic country to explore their Jewish roots.
