CinemaNow - Digging for the Truth - Season 01 - Episode 03 - The Lost Tribe of Israel

The mystery of the Lost Tribes of Israel has fascinated people down the ages. Explorers claim to have discovered evidence of the "lost tribes" all over the world, from Australia to Siberia, but few if any such claims have been backed up by solid evidence. But now another possibility has emerged...and it's 4,000 miles from Israel -- in Southern Africa. Digging for the Truth's Josh Bernstein retraces the amazing journey that the Lemba people claim they made centuries ago. It stretches from the heart of modern South Africa to the ancient stone cities of Zimbabwe...and then onto the shores of the Mediterranean and the city of Jerusalem. And the evidence for this journey is more than anecdotal...as Josh discovers, recent DNA studies point to the Lemba's true origin: in the Middle East.
