WHO’S GONNA LOVE ME NOW?
by Tomer Heymann and Barak Heymann

Israel 2016 84 min Hebrew-English original version with German subtitles

Script: Tomer Heymann, Barak Heymann, DoP: Itai Raziel, Editor: Ron Omer, Production: Heymann Brothers Films, Producers: Tomer Heymann, Barak Heymann, Alexander Bodin Saphir, with: Saar Maoz

A moving documentary: it was 18 years ago when Saar, a young Jew raised in a religious family, had to leave the kibbutz because of his homosexual orientation. He moved to London where he could finally live the life he wanted. When it turned out that he was HIV positive, his family had to face yet another challenge. But the protagonist did not cease to fight for acceptance and maintaining bonds with his family.

"An outstanding piece of filmmaking. It reminds the audience that not every great story is invented in the mind of a Hollywood script writer, and some of the best involve real people. Saar’s story is moving and relevant, and it should be shared with as many people as possible." (The upcoming)
"We urge you to see WHO’S GONNA LOVE ME NOW? Wherever and whenever you can. It is simply brilliant…" (www.gaytimes.co.uk)
