Live and Become May 19, 2013

The magnificent, award-winning story of an Ethiopian boy airlifted from a Sudanese refugee camp and brought to Israel in 1984 during Operation Moses. Shlomo is plagued by two big secrets; he is neither a Jew nor an orphan, just an African boy who survived and wants, somehow, to fulfill his Ethiopian mother’s parting request that he “go, live, and become” (140 min, 2005).

Presented in conjunction with Kehinde Wiley | The World Stage: Israel.
