SHALOM BOLLYWOOD

SYNOPSIS: This documentary uncovers a little-known chapter of Indian film history: the Jewish actresses who became some of Bollywood’s earliest leading ladies at a time when Hindu and Muslim women were barred from appearing on screen. Tracing a 2,000-year-old community’s surprising influence on the world’s largest film industry, it’s a story of identity, opportunity, and reinvention.
