About the film:
Romanian-born director Radu Mihaileanu's Live and Become follows the life of an Ethiopian boy who is passed off as an Ethiopian Jew to escape the famine and gain entry to Israel. In a Sudanese refugee camp sheltering Ethiopians displaced by civil war and famine in 1984, the Israeli secret service has begun "Operation Moses," airlifting thousands of Falashas, or Ethiopian Jews, to Israel. A non-Jewish Ethiopian woman persuades a Falasha woman whose own son has just died, to allow her son to assume his identity. Renamed Schlomo, the boy is adopted by a loving, liberal Israeli family. We follow Schlomo through the trials and tribulations of assimilation and maintaining the lies as he becomes a Jewish teenager and an idealistic young medical student.
�Brave, moving, compassionate , Live and Become deals boldly, yet sensitively, with issues crucial to our times.� Observer.
