Description
In the 1500s, 100,000 Portuguese Jews converted en masse to Catholicism rather than be exiled, but the majority of them continued to practise their religion in secret at great risk. They were called marranos - the pigs - by the Christians. This documentary brings the story of the Portuguese Jews up to date
