Saved by Language (2015)
Can a language save your life? Yes it can, even an ancient one from the 15th century. Saved by Language tells the story of Moris Albahari, a Sephardic Jew from Sarajevo (born 1930), who spoke Ladino/Judeo-Spanish, his mother tongue, to survive the Holocaust. Moris used Ladino to communicate with an Italian Colonel who helped him escape to a Partizan refuge after he ran away from the train taking Yugoslavian Jews to Nazi death camps. By speaking in Ladino to a Spanish-speaking US pilot in 1944 he was able to survive and lead the pilot, along with his American and British colleagues, to a safe Partizan airport.

Bushkida - In Search of the Jewish-Spanish Language (2020)
Bushkida is a documentary film about Judeo-Spanish, also called Ladino. Ladino was the language of the Sephardic Jews, who were expelled from Spain in 1492. It is a miracle that this language is still spoken, despite the many tragedies throughout the ages. With our film we try to understand this miracle by searching for Ladino-speakers and their culture.
