Letter To My Tribe
A video essay directed, written & produced by b.h. Yael, 2024
Film length 98:00 min
English, translated Hebrew & Arabic
Letter to my Tribe started with a question: Why don’t more Jews and Israelis speak out about Palestine?
Over many years my mother and I have had numerous arguments, some recorded, some not. These form the backbone of this video essay in which Israelis and Jews, journalists, activists and a rabbi are interviewed, and in which documentation of actions on the ground are woven with more personal family histories and journeys to Iraq and to Poland.
