The movie is one of the best, if not the best, I ever watched. It is touchy and sensual. It touches different aspect of life: love, racism, poverty, war, and losing your mom and living a life of lie....it is definitely the movie you would remember for the rest of your life.
However, the Amharic(language) part is poor, don't know about French & Hebrew sinceI I don't speak them. They should have brought a good Amharic speaker from back home. over all, it is an amazing movie.
I lived in Israel when the masses of Ethiopian Jews were brought into Israel. A wonderful, decent people and a real asset to the Jewish nation. I also very much liked Ofrah Haza, though I preferred Yardena Arazi, for those who know who she was.
ofra haza was killed for exposing what they did to sephardi children in the 50s - in my opinion - as soon as she was gonna make a film - she gets a killer bug?? see radiation experiments on these little children - well done ofra
Israel: the ONLY nation on earth to rescue indigenous African people as full citizens, I am VERY proud to be Israeli Welcome home to our Ethiopian brothers, we love you!
uhh, how is that possible when "palistinians" (who are arabs and speak arabian and write with arabian letters) vow to destroy israel and fire rockets on Israel and murder israel? Hmm?
@MrIsraeliyo - you should be proud to be Israeli, my friend. but America does indeed offer a quick path to citizenship for refugees. Of course they made alliyah using the law of return. but here in America we try to help disadvantaged people too.
@MrIsraeliyo this is such a stupid and not to say racist comment: let me explain you one thing dear Mr israliyo before beeing indigenous african people , they are first jewish, they share with you the same faith , the One who created you also created them, and i dont think its wise from you to be that proud seeing how they are treated by their own brothers in their country, treated like less than nothing because of the colour of their skin. .
I must add.. The majority European Jews in Israel and forcing the Ethiopian Jews to conform to their form of Judaism and traditions, when Ethiopian Judaism predates the European Ashkanazi form! Also Ethiopian Jews are being treated as second class citizens in Israel. G-d will hear their cry.
amor1967, I am not sure if it's anything like Mexicans in the USA. Mexicans are only one of many minority ethnic groups that face discrimination in the USA. That seems different in many respects, but as far as being treated as second class citizens, there is an alarming comparison.
Excuse me? I understand the mexican situation quite well. Having lived with mexicans and worked with them. I am surrounded by mexicans all day. Are you stupid or just being a troll?
Just because you hire Mexicans at less than minimum wage does not mean you know us or our tribulations. It's like me saying my friend is a Jew so therefore I know all about you. BS
The Jewish majority in Israel is Mizrahi/Sephardi(although the two are different classifications)...then followed by Ashkenazi.Yeah Ethiopian Jews dont allways get treated right.....it makes me mad sometimes at the situation...but they are finding their way into Israeli society..even having a member in the knesset.Prejudice comes from Israelis of all back grounds..sadly it's human nature.
i knew ethiopains was jewish that's why ethiopians and somalians always fight because ethiopian are little jewish and somalian are muslim. i'm not both but that is what i knew.
she is singing about the ethiopian jews. encourage them to fight for their own, which is israel, and saying that they are not alone..... this is an old song. the boy on the video is a movie that came out about 2 years ago "live and become"
I'm sorry to hear that : ( but may the Elohim comfort you .....I'm an ethiopian jew like you but for the last 5 generations or so it had been a secret...until my lost uncle was found.... we all have stories
That is not true all the Yemenis I know are pretty cool and don't hate anyone. And there are so many Yemenite Jews married to Ethipians and Ertireans. Some even live there.
Because they are JEWISH and NOT a Predator Woman. And Ethiopian women have Junk in the trunk Marry someone that will appreciate you than just for you Junk. LOLOLOL
Ofra haza she is the most splendid Yemeni singer in israel, great video i love this song it's made me remember my ethiopian neighbors in USA and the common history between Yemenis and ethiopians
HA! Ethiopian BOY. Are we in 1930's America calling black males "boy"? Why dont you just call the song My Ethiopian Nigger. אלאה הו אקבאר ביך, אלאה הו אכבאר ביך, אלאה הו אקבאר ביטש, אלאה הו אכבאר ביטש
who are you all hating on the lady? this is a song the artist decided to sing about. Just leave it alone and enjoy it and stop talking about the worthless hate!
I enjoyed this movie. Does anyone know what Schlomo/Shlomo and Sarah's song was? It was a really corny one, when they were dancing in the street while listening to the song with earphones.
Nothing pisses me off more then Israels failure to acknowledge the ehtnic Jews. Nothing. It makes me so angry. The Jews of Africa ( not just Ethophia), Asia and India and else where, have just as much right to ,at least, an Israeli citizenship.
callmetricia - What the hell are you talking about? ALL Jews have a right to citizenship in Israel, Who said the didn't? No one fails to acknowledge them. You're pissed off about an issue that doesn't exist
not all Jews have gotten acknowledge as Jews to Israel. And the ones who are and are Ethnic must first to remain in Israel. So don't insult me friend!
How did i insult you? And what legitimate Jews are not acknowledged? Where are there Jews who have been denied citizenship in Israel? I've never heard of a real Jewish community denied by Israel, so what are you talking about? Who said Indian Jews weren't welcome in Israel?
And what do you mean by "ethnic"? All Jews are ethnic. I think you mean "non-white", and there are many non-white Jews in Israel,
This is a "must-see," especially or those Jews who have never gone to Israel. What so many who take for granted or give little or no importance, wake up! The Ethiopian Jews dreamt of this day for thousands of years!
WOW!! This sounds interesting. Will check out the release dates - film/dvd!!! Many of my interests rolled into 1- Ofra, Israel, Christianity, Ethiopia (motherland)!!
