Show Notes

UK-born, Caulfield-based Danny Ben Moshe stumbled into a career making documentaries with his 2005 film The Buchenwald Ball. Since then he's crafted films about rabbis in the Australian outback, a Chinese disident, Jews in Bollywood and Carnaby Street, London in the 1960s. A few weeks ago ABC TV approached him to make a film about Yom Kippur and Melbourne's Jewish community living in lockdown. The deadline was tight – a mere fortnight – but Danny, ever industrious, seized the opportunity.
