Voices of Israel @ 70
To celebrate Israel’s 70th year, Shalom has produced and directed a documentary film featuring four icons of Israel with distinct voices that convey the emotion and passion that colour Israel’s stories. Join us in the living rooms of these famous Israelis as Michael Misrachi asks them each about their lives, their loves and their dreams for Israel in the next 70 years.

Meet Dorit Rabinyan, writer and screenwriter, born to Iranian Jewish parents. Dorit’s most recent work, All the Rivers, was recognised in Israel as the best-selling book of 2016 and received significant attention for its autobiographical depiction of a relationship between an Israeli woman and a Palestinian man.
