A film about growth and self discovery THE NAME MY MOTHER GAVE ME A film by Eli Tal-El 56 min. New Release Dear Librarian: Jews have been in Ethiopia for thousands of years. Their yearning to get to the Jewish homeland became true in the early 1980's when tens of thousands of Ethiopian Jews were airlifted to Israel. The realities of preserving and creating identity in modern day Israel are beautifully illustrated in this moving documentary. THE NAME MY MOTHER GAVE ME follows Ethiopian and Russian Israelis who meet at a leadership program in Israel. Their year of learning culminates in a joint journey to Ethiopia. Though, back home in Israel, the participants would consider themselves members of the fringes of Israeli society, in the highlands of Ethiopia they discover the universality of their experiences and their shared commitment to their new home in Israel. In a fast-changing society where personal definitions are not always clear, it is refreshing to watch as young people of different backgrounds learn, share and grow as individuals and as Israelis. THE NAME MY MOTHER GAVE ME will be shown on May 14th at the BINA Cultural Foundation in New York and we think that the film is an excellent choice for your upcoming festival line-up. After opening at the Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival, Shula Mula, the director of the Israeli Association for Ethiopian Jews wrote about the film: "THE NAME MY MOTHER GAVE ME is carefully crafted- with sensitivity and wisdom. The film portrays believable images full of authentic emotion that touch the heart." The price for the purchase of the film is $300 for university libraries and $115 for public libraries. The price does not include shipping and handling.
