Yesterday I watched #TheClub (#Kulüp #Netflix). Since released days ago its taken over Turkish audiences w/its depiction of Jewish life in Istanbul in the 1950s. I admit hearing Ladino and seeing a life that once was brought tears to my eyes. Indeed its a beautiful story as well. 
First a huge shout out to director @zeynepguntan (Zeynep Gunay Tan) for doing a brilliant job at bringing together a crew of actors, studio people, and much more. Especially for being so sensitive in capturing Jewish life, by including a set of advisors from the Jewish community.
I perhaps will write more on it later connecting it to some research I'm doing on Jewish communities in Turkey. I admit when watching its best to take off my "historian jacket." In this short thread, I will address some issues that stood out to me w/out giving away the scenario.
