About this product
Product Information
Cultural confusion and the lack of true identity plague a young boy swept away from his mother during a joint American-Israeli rescue mission in Radu Mihaileanu's fact-based drama. As thousands of displaced Africans crowd into Sudanese refugee camps, American and Israeli troops organise a mission aimed at relocating the wandering Falashas to Israel. Forced by his Christian mother to declare himself Jewish in hopes of joining the exile and escaping a grim fate, young Solomon (Moshe Agazai) is swept away to Israel and adopted by a Tel Aviv-dwelling French Sephardic family and re-named Schlomo. Terrified of being revealed and shaken to the core by the radically different culture of Israel, Schlomo does his best to adapt to his new surroundings as his presumed salvation slowly gives way to the inner decay of a fading identity.Product Identifiers

Additional InformationBased on the exodus of Ethiopian Jews to Israel, LIVE AND BECOME is a harrowing and poignant look at the struggles of cultural and personal identity. In 1985 Operation Moses is launched to airlift thousands of persecuted Ethiopian Jews (known as Falashas) from Sudan to Israel. When a Falasha widow's son dies, she smuggles a Christian boy with her to ensure his survival. Guilt-ridden at leaving his real mother behind, the boy--renamed Schlomo--is soon orphaned when his Jewish guardian dies. A smart but rebellious student, Schlomo (played at various ages by Moshe Agazai, Mosche Abebe, and Sirak M. Sabahat) finds a stable home with an adoptive French-Israeli couple (Roschdy Zem and Yaδl Abecassis). The secular couple encourages his Jewish faith while defending him against the prejudices of their neighbors and the Israeli state. But Schlomo's deception only deepens when he falls for Sarah (Roni Hader), a white Jew, and must contend with her racist father. When he and Sarah marry years later, Schlomo must come clean about his identity if he is to find his place in the world and fulfill his mother's wish: 'Go. Live and become'. Director Radu Mihaileanu, a Romanian Jew who fled oppression in his own country, brings compassionate focus to an ambitious story of inner turmoil amidst turbulent times. LIVE AND BECOME is a timely and thought-provoking look at how hope can overcome any prejudice, and the idea that being true to oneself is the surest path home.

Powerful, thought provoking film.
A stunning story, beautifully told. I saw this in the cinema when it was first released about 10years ago. This is the 2nd copy I've bought on DVD, I lent the previous copy to someone but can't remember who. And, I was desperate to see it again. So glad i did, and no, you can't borrow it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
