True to Life: Stories of Ramla Youth

True to Life
Molly Ritvo

Israeli teens from Ramla share their lives on film. Their short vignettes make up a documentary directed by and starring themselves. But their stories are anything but typical.

Ever wanted to know what it's really like to be a teen in Israel? The Boston Jewish Film Festival recently showed a documentary, True to Life, about Israeli teens' experiences in Ramla, a lower-class suburb near Jerusalem. What's really cool is that the film was made, produced, and shot by the teens who star in it.
