No Promised Land
Since 1977, more than 36,000 African Jews have been brought from Ethiopia to the Promised Land of Israel in a series of evacuations, some of which were carried out in secret. They were supposed to finally arrive “home.” But they have not found a home, because they are considered second-class citizens.
NO PROMISED LAND addresses the identity crisis of the Israeli-Ethiopian community through the example of four young Israelis of Ethiopian descent. Teacher Benny and fashion designer Lemlem immigrated to Israel with their parents. Activist Inbar and stand-up comedian Shlomo were born in Israel.
Despite the fact that they speak fluent Hebrew and, like all Israelis, completed compulsory military service, their dream of belonging has not been fulfilled. They are still waiting for social recognition. Now, after growing demonstrations against police brutality, they are finally hoping for a new life without discrimination.
