Guild Hall in Partnership with the East Hampton Library presents the East Hampton Library’s Annual Free Winter Film Series: FOREIGN LETTERS
DIRECTED BY ELA THEIR
UNITED STATES / ENGLISH, HEBREW & VIETNAMESE WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES
Ellie, a 12-year-old immigrant girl from Israel, is lonely and homesick. Life brightens when she meets Thuy, a Vietnamese refugee her age. Trust slowly builds as the two teach each other about life in America. As Ellie and Thuy become inseparable, they eventually hurt and betray each other. Ellie must give up her most prized possession in order to save their friendship. Based on the filmmaker’s own experience, Foreign Letters is a story about prejudice, poverty, shame, and the power of friendship to heal us. The film features the music of iconic Israeli musician Chava Alberstein, who was the director’s favorite musician when her family immigrated to the US in 1982.
