"Who would have believed?"
This is a movie produced by a 12th grade Communication
major student, who bravely decided to touch the most sensitive issue in Arad –
the Messianic community and how they cope with the Haredi sector.
Who would have believed that a 12th
grade Community major student would have the courage to be exposed, or more
importantly – to expose the truth behind the Messianic community in
Ketty explains why, in her
opinion, this hostility is unfounded. "We don't try to convert anyone to
Christianity, or to baptize anyone. We even continue to define ourselves as
Jews. We, or at least I, don't try to influence anyone with our opinion. If
someone takes an interest and wants to know more about my faith, he will come
and ask and learn – coming from him, not from me."
Indeed, this isn't the first year
that a Communication major student has chosen to show courage and to document
such sensitive issues… But this time everyone agreed that the movie was
exceptional and moving…
"I learned about teamwork
and about keeping my expectations low. There were times when I wanted to give
up and quit making the movie, but I thought that someone had to take a step
forward and bring the issue to the public awareness," says Ketty, who
produced the movie about the Messianic community in Arad and about her life as
a believer. "A John Doe called me while I was making the movie and threatened
me, saying that if I came to school the next day, something terrible would
happen to me, but the next day I went to school and nothing happened. But
usually, the threats were much worse."
The 16 minute long movie portrays
the character of the Messianic community in a documentary way, so one can see
different fragments of life interwoven.
