A Tale of Four Minorities
NOTE UPDATED EVENT TIME!
In the fall of 2019, Filmmaker David Deri-Barkai began documenting four families, parents and their children – his secular gay family in Tel Aviv, a Jewish Ultra-Orthodox family in Beit Shemesh, a Muslim family in Taibeh and a Jewish Religious family in the Ofra settlement (West Bank). The pandemic that broke out a few months later, along with the lock-downs, fears and social unrest that followed, created unprecedented family and national pressure. While for some, their belief is a source of strength, others confront doubts, and rifts are deepening—but a fascinating dialogue and surprising alliances are created.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: A film that could hardly be more timely as Israel struggles with its identity and what that will be in the future.
BONUS PROGRAMMING: Director David Deri is expected to present the film and conduct a Q&A. Deri is an important Israeli director, writer, and producer and is well known in Israel, especially for his work in TV.
