[ha-Safran]: HOMECOMING

2011-11-05 Thread Ruth Diskin
Dear Colleague,



Where does identity come from? And what makes you connected to your home land?



The quest for identity in modern day Israel is beautifully addressed 
in this special documentary.

A universal problem in the world today, Video Librarian calls HOMECOMING:

A provocative and moving study of ethnic identity. And indeed in a 
world where economic migration is rampant – this film is essential 
for your library collection.

As the review goes on to say: the camera follows the three subjects 
on their journeys, and it becomes evident that despite the geographic 
differences, all three countries share the same burdens of grueling 
poverty, a virtually nonexistent infrastructure, and dead-end lives 
for those unable to emigrate.



We are sure that your library patrons will benefit from learning more 
about this

contemporary topic.



The purchase price for university libraries is $300 + shipping 
handling and for public libraries the price is $115 + shipping and handling.

[ha-Safran]: HOMECOMING

2011-03-21 Thread Ruth Diskin
Shalom Safranim,


If you were moved by the Academy Award Winning Documentary STRANGERS NO MORE –

You must take a look at

The quest for identity in modern day Israel is beautifully addressed 
in this special documentary.

Unlike Strangers No More – HOMECOMING is an Israeli film made by an 
Israeli filmmaker. And her unique perspective and distinctive 
point-of-view give voice to three wonderful children who are in 
search of identity.



As the State of Israel about to deport foreign workers and their 
children – this film is a timely exploration of a complex political 
and personal situation. Where does identity come from? And what makes 
you connected to your homeland? HOMECOMING takes us on a moving 
journey with three teenagers who were born in Israel to foreign 
workers who came to Israel in search of a better life. These kids are 
not Jewish, but are deeply Israeli – and their individual journeys 
take on cultural and emotional dimensions. We travel with them to the 
Congo, to Peru and to the Philippines as they examine their roots and 
contemplate their future.

These issues are of great interest in our modern world and we think 
HOMECOMING would be a terrific addition to your library collection. 
The price for university libraries is $300 + shipping and handling 
and $115 for public libraries + shipping and handling.
