"The Woman from Sarajevo"
Ella Alterman | Israel | 2007 | 56m
Sara Pizatnich’s mother was the first Muslim woman to be honored as “Righteous Among the Nations” for hiding the Jewish Kabilio family during World War II . In a reversal of roles 50 years later, the Kabilios rescued Sara’s family during the Bosnian War and brought them to Israel. Now, Pizatnich, a Bosnian woman who received Israeli citizenship and converted to Judaism, travels back to Sarajevo to reunite with her multi-faith family.
