BLUE BOX (Michal Weits 2021)
Her great grandfather was a founding father of the State of Israel who came in 1908 and worked acquiring land. She explores his monumental 5,000-page journal and unearths the dark side of her ancestor and the country's founding and continued existence. Interviews with relatives, voiceover of the journal recounting Israeli history, and fluent use of archival footage - familiar documentary ingredients - form a remarkable film that as a Haaretz piece put it, "Looks the nakba* deep in the eye." (*The "tragedy" of Palestinian dispossession.)
