Pita with Vegemite now screening on SBS on Demand

Australia is considered a dream destination for many in Israel. How do Israelis end up living here and what does it mean to live as an Israeli downunder.

Six months after October 7 2023, The Jewish Independent began the filming of Pita with Vegemite, a 28-minute documentary talking to nine Israeli-Australians about their stories.

Pita with Vegemite premiered at the Jewish International Film Festival in 2024, has screened for limited audiences at TJI events, and excerpts are available on the TJI site but until now, the full documentary has not been widely available.

Now SBS on Demand is streaming Pita with Vegemite: An Israeli-Australian Story as a Special Documentary, making it freely available to Australian audiences.

TJI Editor Deborah Stone said The Jewish Independent was proud to have produced an engaging and important documentary which will expand Australians' understanding of the Israelis who live here.
