Ep. 15: Rudy Rochman: My Time in a Nigerian Prison

Host Adam Bellos sat down with special guest and close friend Rudy Rochman, an Israeli-American activist and filmmaker, to talk about his time in prison in Nigeria. In July 2021, Rudy was detained along with three others and spent several weeks in jail while filming the Igbo Jewish community in Nigeria. Automatic weapons, men in ski masks, fear of execution, unmarked vehicles, Shabbat. Chabad, Kosher food - it is a harrowing story that you won't want to miss.

The conversation was accompanied by a tasting of Shilo Mosaic 2019, a red blend from the Shilo Winery in Israel.

Bellos and Rochman also delve into

• Rudy's upbringing and how he became an activist
• The historicity of his documentary series "We were never lost"
• His comments on the “truth” of the Black Israelite narrative
• His solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
