Mijn Jodenbuurt plot

Filemon Wesselink lives in a neighborhood with a loaded history: the Amsterdam Rivierenbuurt. In the documentary 'My Jewish Quarter', Filemon wonders what the state of tolerance is in the neighborhood where, traditionally, many Jewish people live. In his search, he encounters several anti-Semitic incidents. Have recent terror attacks increased the pressure in the neighbourhood? Is there a growing fear following these attacks, some of which were specifically targeted at Jews? Is that why the synagogue in the neighborhood is permanently guarded? Philemon immerses himself in his own ward to find answers to these questions.
