Live and Become  

About this film:

LIVE AND BECOME
Hebrew/French/Amharic with English subtitles,

An 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 a Christian Ethiopian boy who survived and wants, somehow, to fulfill his mother's parting request that he "go, live, and become." The child is raised as an adoptive son in a loving family, and embraces Judaism. But the pressure of keeping his secret, the tension between the truth and reality, and the pernicious racism he must confront as he strives to integrate Israeli society will be the key elements that will define his personality as he becomes a man.
