Synopsis

A charming look at the Jews of Leeds. The sons and daughters of the Jewish immigrants who settled in the city over 150 years ago share their personal stories and reflect on the history and current situation of the community in this British city. After enduring years of Russian persecution, many Jews escaped to what they thought was America, but turned out to be Britain. They settled in the city and began their social and economic climb. A touching and humorous film that offers rare insight into the struggles and successes of the Jews of Britain.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
muller_6068 The Last Tribe is a fascinating historical insight, not just of the rise & integration of the Jewish community in one particular West Yorkshire city, but also the influence of that community on the shape of British society & culture throughout the 20th Century. The film is pact with captivating stories & accounts (some particularly emotional) from the Leeds' Jewish community & local historians, that allows the viewer to get a real understanding of the struggles these people have faced fighting to be accepted into an initially prejudice society, as well as an understanding of this community's contribution to the growth of Leeds as a city, it's economy, it's culture, as well as that of the rest of the country. This isn't just an important film for historians, but also for all the people of Leeds to see how their city has grown & been shaped over the last century & for the younger section of Britain's Jewish community to see the trials & tribulations their parents, grandparents & ancestors have gone through, so that they may live in a far less prejudice UK today .
