If our megaplexes would play nothing but slice of history works like KEDMA we would all be more sympathetic and compassionate. This film depicts a small slice of an historic migration that, truthfully, requires a bit of acquired knowledge by it's viewers. That said, it's almost done in realtime (which some may find boring or exhausting) and the character dialog can get a bit preachy at times. But excellent effect. Deserves reverence if only for its passion and determination. The soliloquy at the end is a bit much and mars the otherwise muted and ambiguous nature of the story of the creation of Israel. But the overall effect is quite profound. Fervor and desire by the filmmakers herein overcomes lack of technical expertise.
