This acclaimed Israeli documentary tells the life story of the late Shoshana Damari, a singer who became an icon and a national treasure. The Yemen-born Damari, who moved to Palestine with her family as a toddler in the 1920s, came of age with the State of Israel, never hiding her origins. She played up her dark beauty, the songs and dance traditions with which she grew up, her accent and the Yemenite costumes and jewelry that she often wore, while she built a career as an international singing superstar.
