Children of Jerusalem: Tamar

Directed by Beverly Shaffer

This short documentary follows 10-year-old Tamar, a resident of Jerusalem, as she recounts the experiences of her daily life in Israel. She practices her baritone tuba and attends school, the local market, and a religious youth camp. She welcomes cousins who have emigrated from Russia, and expresses her desire for peace between Jews and Arabs. The film offers a brief glimpse into the life of a child in contemporary Israel.
