LOS ANGELES — Empower Women Media proudly announces the release of Who Moved the Jews?, a powerful 13-minute documentary tracing 4,000 years of Jewish presence and resilience in the Middle East. Produced by a team of Iranian-Americans, the film highlights cycles of Jewish exile, persecution, adaptation, and survival, while calling for deeper understanding and respect across faiths and cultures.

Through expert commentary and compelling storytelling, the film underscores the importance of building inclusive, multi-faith societies where freedom of belief is protected throughout the Middle East.


“Research shows digital media is the fastest way to spark global movements for good,” said Shirin Taber, Executive Director of Empower Women Media. “Our vision is to screen Who Moved the Jews? in 10,000 homes, classrooms and workplaces worldwide. The film encourages people to counter antisemitism everywhere, and to stand up for their neighbors—regardless of faith.”

The documentary is accompanied by a free media tool kit, offering discussion questions and award certificates to foster meaningful conversations and community engagement.

Who Moved the Jews? is available for free screenings and can be viewed now on the Empower Women Media YouTube channel and website. For more details, contact Shirin Taber: [email protected]
