Film Description

Her Israel is a documentary film shot in the tradition of cin?ma v?rit?, following the lives and revealing the humanity of three women, a Jewish-Israeli, a Jewish-Russian and a Palestinian through their daily lives
in the bustling microcosm of TelAviv/Yafo. The three women juxtaposed from one another demonstrate the multi-dimensional components involved in
existing in this complex Middle-Eastern society and exposes radically different perspectives and lifestyles. In a time where opinions about the future of Israelis and Palestinians are highly political, sometimes
staunchly fundamentalist and polarized to the determent of everyone, Her Israel shows the realities of three lives touched by such a reality but not
mired in these ideals. This documentary highlights human lives effected and shaped by the political and religious issues, as much as it highlights
age-old issues such as love, motherhood, ambition, prejudice, womanhood, heartbreak, triumph and history. Her Israel gives a voice to each of these
women, revealing authentic glimpses into their lives.
