Chances are, unless you’re a burrowing rodent, you’ve heard stories of Holocaust survivors escaping to Palestine. But raise your hand if you know jack about the breakaway sagas of the Ethiopian Jews. This year’s Ring Family Wesleyan Israel Film Festival seeks to wrest this staggering history from undeserved oblivion with its screening of Live and Become, an epic drama directed by Radu Mihaileanu.
The film is about an Ethiopian boy, Shlomo, whose mother shoves him out of a wretched Sudanese refugee camp, where he’ll surely die, and onto the 1984 Operation Moses airlift to Israel, where he’s to do as the film title says. He spends the rest of the turbulent 80s and 90s concealing his unkosher secret that he’s Christian and not a descendent of the Beta Israel tribe, lest he be deported.
The adult Shlomo was played by Sirak M. Sabahat, who was among the 15,000 Ethiopian Jews spirited to Israel in 1991’s covert Operation Solomon, a mission spanning 35 flights in 36 hours. Sabahat’s uneasy story of acculturation in his adopted homeland partly informed Mihaileanu’s narrative. He also served as casting director and interpreter for the Ethiopian actors, and his starring turn earned him a nomination for an Israeli Oscar—the first actor of color to enjoy that distinction.
