The Dove Flyer (Farewell Baghdad)

Director: Nissim Dayan 2014 108 minutes narrative film

Based on a novel by Eli Amir, this celebrated film tells the story of the
most ancient Jewish community in the world in Iraq, just before they leave
for Israel after living there for close to two thousand years. Against the
background of Jewish life in Bagdad of the 1950s, we witness the coming-of-
age of 16-year-old Kabi. Transformed from a studious child to one of the
central activists in the Zionist underground, he enables the immigration of
the Jews of Iraq to Israel at a time when most Jews did not want to leave.
