Former West Bank settler Lia
Tarachansky looks at Israelis’ collective amnesia of the fateful events of
1948 when the state of Israel was born and most of the Palestinians became
refugees.
She follows the
transformation of Israeli... veterans trying to uncover their denial of the war
that changed the region forever.
Lia Tarachansky then
turns the camera on herself and travels back to her settlement where that
historical erasure gave birth to a new generation, blind and isolated from its surroundings.
Attempting to shed a light on the
country’s biggest taboo, she is met with outrage and violence.
The director, a member of Independent Jewish Voices, will be in attendance.
