Va, Vis et Deviens, or Live and Become is the Epic story of a young Ethiopian Christian refugee whose mother sends him to Israel at age 9, telling him to pretend he is a Jew, and what happens to him over the following 18 years. This is a beautiful and touching film on so many levels: the clash of ancient and modern cultures, coming to terms with racism, the refugee and immigrant experience, magnificently filmed and with a fabulous ensemble cast. Very highly recommended.
