| Undying Love |
 |
From the tragedy of the Holocaust rises life, and
even love and marriage. The daughter of survivors,
filmmaker Helene Klodawsky, uses interviews, rare
archival documentary footage, vintage film clips from
Yiddish and Hollywood cinema, and dramatic
reenactments to present true stories of faith,
courage and loss that span continents and decades.
The film chronicles the lives of ordinary people making
an extraordinary commitment to life for future
generations.

Impact of Terror |
|
|
|
In August 2001, a bomb destroyed a Sbarro pizza
restaurant in downtown Jerusalem. Fifteen people
died in the explosion; another 130 were injured, many
seriously. Evocatively, IMPACT OF TERROR revisits
that tragic event, interviewing the survivors and the
families of the dead. Playing out almost as a thriller,
slowly revealing the fate of those in the restaurant at
the time, the deeply moving IMPACT OF TERROR
brings home the danger - and the long-term
repercussions - of the terrorism Israelis face virtually
every day.
