Flight to Freedom

This short film is about Operation Magic Carpet which brought thousands of Yemenite Jews to Israel in the late 1940s. While most of the film's soundtrack is comprised of a voice-over recording, there are a few segments in which traditional Yemenite singing can be heard. Furthermore, around the middle of the film, a Yemenite dance is portrayed and heard as many men gather and dance, while others sing and drum before a plane comes to take them to Israel.
