Director Ganit IIouz’s documentary Dove’s Cry exposes the experiences of an Arabic educator teaching in a Jewish elementary school in Israel. The film followed the teacher Hadeel for an entire school year illustrating the oppression and general ignorance of the Jewish population towards Arab people and culture. While the film focuses on Hadeel’s day-to-day journey as a Muslim woman trying to share her culture with her Jewish students it also follows the struggles she faces at home and even lacks the acceptance of her narrative among her colleagues.
Dove’s Cry, premiered at the 15th Docaviv International Film Festival, 2013, is the first full-length documentary for filmmaker Ilouz. Her past projects include short documentaries, among them Hebrew Labor, 2010, screened at the 13th Tel Aviv International Student Film Festival, and The Perfect Human, 2005, which won the Grillo Award at the University of Colorado Boulder.
