My name is Ofra Bloch and I'm a psychoanalyst making my first film called Afterward about the trauma of war and conflict, and the thin line between victims and victimizers. AMA


Jerusalem-born trauma expert Ofra Bloch forces herself to confront her demons in a journey that takes her to Germany, Israel and Palestine. Set against the current wave of fascism and anti-Semitism sweeping the globe, AFTERWARD delves into the secret wounds carried by victims as well as victimizers, through testimonies ranging from the horrifying to the hopeful. Seen as a victim in Germany and a perpetrator in Palestine, Ofra faces those she was raised to hate and dismiss as she searches to understand the identity-making narratives of the Holocaust and the Nakba, violent and non-violent resistance, and the possibility of reconciliation. The film points towards a future - an "afterward" - that attempts to live with the truths of history in order to make sense of the present.Proof: https://ift.tt/2N70Vhn via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2QxrUVz
