- Once Upon A School – This is the story of The Midrashia, the flagship of religious Zionism in Israel. Founded before the establishment of the state, the Midrashia produced thousands of high-caliber students who went on to hold positions of power in all sectors of Israeli society. This is a story about a school that in a complicated and surprising process, changed it’s manner, and from an elitist and luxurious school that educated successful and dedicated students – became an anarchistic, wild place. This is a chilling and unbelievable story about an educational vision that collapsed, about brotherhood, the loss of control, coming-of-age, and about the human spirit in which the good and bad, cruelty and grace, are mixed together. After the film, join a discussion with the director, Tal Becher.
