Inheritance
A film by Hannah Levy
Clearing out her late grandpa’s house, Hannah uncovers a Jewish family history built on flight and survival — and finds the courage to question what she has inherited.

Film still
Hannah returns to her late grandpa’s house in Hull to clear it out. Among his photographs, prayer book and the small objects of a life lived, she uncovers fragments of a Jewish family history shaped by flight, survival and solidarity — resurfacing, repeating, incomplete.
As the war in Gaza presses quietly into the house, her family’s story of persecution and exile can no longer be invoked to justify another people’s suffering. Woven from real family archive, Inheritance asks what we truly inherit: not certainty, but the courage to question what we have been taught and to say, quietly but clearly, not in my name.

The world of
Inheritance
A house filled with memory. A family archive resurfacing. A private reckoning that can no longer remain silent.
