Historia ***

All the specialists are remarkable for their clarity and pedagogy. The skillful use of computer-generated images, as illustration, gives the whole series a modernity that is too often lacking in historical documentaries.
L’Obs
Arte devotes an evening to the history of “the longest hatred”, dissecting the motives, religious or political, which try to justify it. The complex subject is presented in Antisemitism, 2,000 Years of History. A film marked by an obvious desire to remain factual. The bet for Director Jonathan Hayoun and his producer Simone Harari Baulieu was risky, as the issue is currently burning hot.
Le Figaro
The documentary includes 3D historical reconstructions from Ubisoft, a French video game creator, depicting the atmosphere and landscapes of the time amid expert testimonies. A fascinating investigation.
