Bewoket's Story
Project: Bewoket: By the Will of God, 66-minute film
Clip: I chose this scene because it illustrates the cultural differences between America and Ethiopia, through Bewoket's eyes.
Credits: Director, Editor, Videographer
Story: Bewoket was born sick. Living in the remote mountains of Ethiopia and farmers, his parents had done all that they could do for him.
Upon his realization that there was no more hope, Bewoket, with a laundry list of deadly diseases finds his way to Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia.
Outcome: Film Premiered at Toronto Jewish Film Festival 2009, is touring the festival circuit. It has been of interest to school teachers for social studies education.
