“Mom Is Not Crazy” / Directed by Mordechai Vardi / Tel Aviv Cinemateque

Mom is Not Crazy tells the story of Amira, a religious woman, battling mental illness and her decision to stop hiding it and to open up about her condition to her community. As a religious woman, she discovers that the restrictions of Jewish law make things especially difficult, but this only goads her to study the issues so that she can bring about a change in attitude among rabbis and the religious authorities toward people struggling with mental illness. This film tracks Amira’s dramatic struggle to stay alive, raise her children and examine what it means to be normal. 72 Min. Hebrew with English subtitles.
