ALIYAH DADA
A non-Jew Romanian starts a journey
to discover the reality behind the
Romanian Jews’ return to the Holy

to the hidden horrors of the Second
World War in Romania and the

the Romanian Jews to Israel, where
they became an important group. The
film is visually trimmed in the Dada

had lost everything; he has recently
found out there is even more to lose...

REȚEAUA
In Romania, chemotherapy drugs
are neither accessible free of charge,
as required by law, nor can they be
acquired in pharmacies. Many of
the patients who try, in one way or

by a real Network of people who
don’t get any financial benefit from
this “trade”. The documentary follows
the drugs route from one of the
