'Juda', Vampires, Choice and Jewish identity

This conversation is also available on YouTube.

We’re talking about Juda
an eight-part Israeli tv series about vampires, the criminal underworld and orthodox Judaism. So if you are interested in any of those things and what they might have to say about living in the world today, then this is the place for you.

Written by and starring Zion Baruch, Juda is filmed in Hebrew, Russian, French, Romanian and English, but if you’re not fluent in all five of those languages, subtitles are available. It follows the story of an egotistical gambler who crosses paths with a vampire and is himself transforming, along the way exploring themes of religious identity, community and choice.

I sat down to talk about Juda with Doctor Holly A Jordan who brings her perspectives both as an academic with backgrounds in education, religion and political theory and as a Jewish person.
