My Amulet

Synopsis

Set among the beehives and high heels, fur stoles and Ford Zephyrs of 60's and 70's London suburbia, My Amulet offers a personal take on Anglo-Jewish identity. Combining handheld Super 8 with current digital video footage, the film delivers poet Leah Thorn's spin on assimilation, acculturation and ‘other such aggravation’.
