the people of sefwi wiawso trace a call for a "return" to normative judaism by aaron ahomtre toakyirafa, a community leader who, in 1976, is said to have had a vision. in 2012, gabrielle zilkha, a toronto-based filmmaker, visited sefwe wiawso to do research for a documentary about the house of israel she is making. according to zilkha, about 200 people--mostly children--live in the community. she states that the lack of a historical record makes it difficult to verify the groups claims, but that there is an oral tradition dating back 200 years.
