Who was the philosopher Baruch Spinoza and why is a Dutch synagogue still trying to eradicate his name so many centuries after his death? In this fascinating documentary, we go on an intercontinental journey - traveling to The Hague, New York, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv - tracing six reasons for the excommunication of the Jewish philosopher who revolutionized modern thought. With a 25-minute short feature, in-theatre only.


Underwritten by Katherine Hoenke.
