This short film, entitled, Start All Over Again, contains interviews with individuals who provide first-hand accounts of Cairo as Jews in the 1950's. It is likely that many of the interviewees were children, or at the very least quite young, yet they still provide a strong explanation of the times that Jews thrived, as well as the ones in which they didn't. In terms of relevance to the memoir, Lagnado contributes to the documentary herself, proving her own experiences and adds to the description of Cairo during the 1950's and early 1960's.
