| WHAT I SAW IN HEBRON U.S.A.
Premiere Israel, 1999. Noit Geva, Director. For history and film buffs, a moving documentary about an untold story--the 1929 Hebron massacre--using rare archival footage and personal testimony of 12 survivors. "My grandmother never spoke about what she saw in Hebron during the massacre of 1929 when she was 16 years old. She was so traumatized that until her dying day, she could never speak about it, except for once. The day after the massacre she wrote about what she had seen. Only after my eldest daughter was born did my father decide to let me read what grandmother had written. At the top of the wrinkled page appear the words: ‘What I Saw in Hebron." Just as filmmaker Geva was unable to put down her grandmother’s journal until she stopped reading, this riveting film will grab and hold you. CAREFREE THEATRE |
