Audrey G. Ratner Speaker Series: Children of the Inquisition Film Screening
Children of the Inquisition: Their Story Can Now Be Told reveals the stories of the families who were forced to convert to Catholicism or flee during the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions (1478-1834) through the eyes of their contemporary descendants. Through these families’ journeys, the film explores and reveals the commonalities that transcend race and religion. In the film, descendants come to understand how their ancestors shaped history and how their perilous history shaped their identities. The film’s producer and Tulane parent, Hilary Klotz Steinman, will help to introduce the film and answer Q&A afterwards.
