July 11 7:00pm (Va, vis et deviens) Radu Mihaileanu France/Israel 2005 2hr.20min. This is the magnificent, epic story of an Ethiopian boy who is airlifted from a Sudanese refugee camp to Israel in 1984 during Operation Moses. Shlomo Is plagued by two big secrets. He is neither a Jew nor an orphan, just an African boy who survived and wants to fulfill his mother’s parting request that he “go, live, and become.” Bouyed by a profound and unfaltering motherly love – both in memory and with his adoptive mother - he ultimately finds an identity and a happiness all his own. “…Rewarding, rich in humor and warmth, and abuzz with the turmoil of juggling multiple identities that is a critical element of these cross-cultural times.”- L.A.
