From the Diaspora (2013)
A great discussion on the diverse experiences of new arrivals to Israel
In the realm of Israeli cultural discussion in film, From the Diaspora is truly a breath of fresh air. The film is a pure, honest portrayal of the emotional, spiritual, and physical journeys taken by those leaving their home countries in order to settle permanently in the state of Israel. The film portrays what it means to compromise friendships, family, and a career path in order to achieve the goal of connecting to a shared homeland. From the Diaspora depicts the good with the bad, but most importantly it leaves the final interpretation up to the viewer by showing the various aspects of immigration to Israel through its diverse selection of interviewees from across the globe.
A must watch for anyone interested in learning about the Aliyah (immigration to Israel) experience.
