Massa'ot James Be'eretz Hakodesh (2003)

English title: James' Journey to Jerusalem.

Synopsis: An African young man comes to Israel to visit Jerusalem, but is recruited as an illegal worker.

Appraisal: The process of survival and learning is depicted here in a simplified but still honest way; also interesting is the depiction of class (and race) relations in Israel, made without any attempt at ideologic or moral preaching.

Rating: 59
