[edit] Plot

Shlomo, an Ethiopian boy, is placed by his mother with an Ethiopian Jewish woman whose child has died. This woman, who will become his adoptive mother, is about to be airlifted from a Sudanese refugee camp to Israel during Operation Moses in 1984. His birth mother, who hopes for a better life for him tells him “go, live, and become” as he leaves her to board the plane. The film tells of his growing up in Israel and how he deals with the secrets he carries, not being Jewish and having left his birth mother.

VERY VERY ineteresting. I have always been inetersted in operation moses....it goes right back to makeda and solomon and has everything to do with menelik I

Operation Moses is deeper than that as the film will tell you , the aftermath of it lingers today. Intentions were good but racism at its fore.The africans are not off the hook as they too have thier tribal issues as to why some took operation moses route as an escpae from ethiopia .

Watch it and get back to me on your observations.
