Out of Cordoba

Averroes and Maimonides in Their Time and Ours

A feature-length documentary about Jews  and Muslims struggling for social justice and confronting the rise of religious extremism in both of their communities.  These contemporary people of faith — in part inspired by two medieval “wise men” from Cordoba, Spain, a Muslim and  a Jew — are promoting the values of democracy and tolerance on the frontlines of  the often-violent clashes that have come to define our new century.

D: Jacob Bender, Cinematography: Leif Karpe, Editor: Martin Kayser-Landwehr, Musik: Marcel Khalifé & Antonio Meliveo, Producer: José Antonio Herguetta, (80 minutes)
