I'm Not Filipina

Israel, 2010


Krizel, a six year old blind Philippine girl who was born in Israel, doesn't want to go to the Philippines. Israel is her homeland. Janet, her adoptive mother, a Philippine foreign worker, feels here as a stranger. Janet needs to explain to her daughter about an operation which might save one of her eyes and increase their chances to stay in Israel.
This film is about a mother and daughter bonded by their destiny.
Will Krizel be able to see one day, and will they stay, together, in Israel?
