Why the Jews?

Synopsis

Modesty may be a virtue but the stats don't lie: a whopping 30% of Nobel science prizes since the Second World War have been won by Jews, and don't get us started on Jewish accomplishments in literature, film and art (excluding sport for obvious reasons). This fascinating documentary turns to Jewish luminaries, including Howard Jacobson, Shimon Peres, Alan Dershowitz and former Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, to find out the reasons for Jewish brilliance. A lively debate is guaranteed.
