The Strength to Tell

Follows the experiences of a group of "at risk" Jerusalem teenagers, who as part of the Martef drama therapy program are asked to interview the last surviving witnesses of the 1961 Eichmann trial, and create a play based on their stories.The young actors and the aging survivors at first have little in common and show no desire to communicate, but slowly there develops between them a bond of empathy and understanding.

Directed by Noam Demsky, The Strength to Tell leans on a strong ensemble — Avigail Lev, Tagel Eliyahu, Hagai Aharoni — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2013.
