Ha Bricha 3G

The Escape

Our collective memory knows how “Holocaust movies” look like, and how they should make us feel. We remember all the speeches, ceremonies, walks for life, aerial displays, songs ... a well-designed, pre-defined memory of the holocaust surrounds us from all directions. Nevertheless, HA BRICHA 3G isn't exactly about the Holocaust; alternatively, the film depicts what is normally omitted from the pages of history – the interim period separating the Holocaust and the establishment of Israel, a time during which an unusual event took place – “Ha Bricha (The Escape)”. Eight teenagers from different backgrounds set out on a personal and fascinating adventure which follows the “Bricha Movement”. (Tal Barda)
