BLOOD RELATION

(Directed by Noa Ben Hagai, Israel 2009, 75 min., Arabic with English subtitles)

At 14, my grandmother's sister disappeared from her home in Israel.
Years later, she started sending my family letters with a desperate plea for contact, written from a refugee camp where she lived as an Arab.
My family chose to turn their backs.
I discovered her letters after my grandmother died and set out on an emotional quest to uncover the past and to reveal the story of my torn up family.
