Quest For The Lost Tribes

Join Emmy-winning filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici on a globe-spanning search for the lost tribes of Israel. The mystery of the lost tribes of Israel reverberates through three millennia of human experience. Of the twelve tribes mentioned in the Bible, only those of Judah and Benjamin survived the Assyrian capture of Israel. The fate of the other ten tribes has puzzled and provoked scholars ever since.

Well it breaks from Simcha Jacobovici's tradition of taking insane leaps of faith... at least a little. What it mostly does is follow people as they try to find the lost tribes, and some of it, far more than his other productions, use actual sleuthing and not slight of hand. And it fails to draw a lot of the insane conclusions that are a trope of his other works. It's just a shame that this tradition didn't continue to his more popular documentaries.
