REVIEWS
Har-Gil emerges in the film as a director who doesn't seek to steal the spotlight from his star. He enlisted two young women to join Zaban on a journey through the stages of his life, asking the necessary questions. The two, bringing freshness to the film, are Naama Lezaimi and Gali Har-Gil, who, notably, is the director's daughter. The film also features guest appearances from Poetry Slam artists performing spoken word.
Yaakov Brown, Maariv
Har-Gil, the director, found a unique way to connect the young generation with 90 years old activist, Yair Zaban, who spend 70 years of his life fighting for social change. Har-Gil is looking for poetic justice by integrating poetry slam.
