70
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>threat to the child and all other drivers on the road. Meanwhile,

<v Speaker 1>at the International Writer's Festival in Jerusalem, Italian author Ery

74
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:41.199

90
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.759

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the mindset required to build a globally competitive innovation hub.

92
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Jerusalem has incredible talent, but talent alone isn't enough, Greenbamlipsky said,

93
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.759
<v Speaker 1>calling for real bridges to connect talent with opportunities. In

94
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>uplifting news, What to watch in Israel this week, Etty disappoints,

95
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Euphoria Stars, Move on TV Time offers streaming picks from

96
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>drama to documentary. If you were curious about the Israeli

97
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 1>series Etti by Hagi Levi but did not manage to

98
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>see it at the movies, it is now running on

99
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Hot vod, Hot Drama and Next TV, and will be

100
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.959
<v Speaker 1>available on Yes Binge starting May thirty one. It's a

101
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 1>fascinating and frustrating series based on the diaries of Etti Hillism,

102
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.199
<v Speaker 1>a Dutch Jewish writer who chronicled her spiritual journey as

103
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.639
<v Speaker 1>the Nazis occupied the Netherlands and eventually murdered her and

104
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.959
<v Speaker 1>her family in Auschwitz. Those who want a traditional biopic

105
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 1>will be disappointed, since this is not so much the

106
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 1>story of her life as an attempt to dramatize her

107
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>diaries and the ideas that fueled her writing. It stars

108
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Julia Windisbauer, who brings Hillissom's contradictions and intensity to life

109
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>on screen, alongside a portrayal of Julius Spear, an unconventional

110
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>psychologist who helped her navigate her path during that period.
