About the event
Following the inheritance of Super 8 films, the creator embarks on a detective journey to uncover family secrets that reveal how with the establishment of the Israeli state, in the name of national and communal values, men - Ashkenazi and Mizrahi alike, demanded to control and appropriate women's wombs and bodies. The creator ignites the pain of oppression, and connects the story of her grandmothers in the past with her own painful story in the present, thereby breaking the bond of silence that resonates to this day.
