Jewish Film Festival - Turn Left at the End of the World

(20th Anniversary Restoration) 

Avi Nesher’s quirky story of a teenage girl who immigrates to Israel from India and goes to live with her family in a 1960s era Negev development town. The film explores the hardships and surprises that come with the integration of multiple families from different ethnic backgrounds (from the diaspora) and their struggle with immigration and prejudice. The film is in Hebrew, French, English, Moroccan Arabic, and Hindi, a combination of languages that have likely never been featured in a single movie before, or since.
