Iisrael, 1996. Etioopia vereskandaali taustal antakse 21-aastasele Etioopia juudile Hailule kätte isa nuga ja ta saadetakse täitma iidset lambatapu rituaali. Teekond viib ta kõrbe ja sealt edasi Palestiinasse, kus peretraditsiooni elluviimine tõstatab küsimusi identiteedi, vägivalla ja enda elutee valimise teemadel.

New Yorgis tegutseva fotograafi ja filmitegija Gigi Betito lavastatud „Veretöö varjus“ on rabav linateos, mis ühendab ootamatult sügavalt inimliku empaatia ja süngelt koomilise tooni. Tegelikest ajaloosündmustest johtuv üdini isiklik lugu sellest, kuidas mõista, kes sa oled ja mis on tegelikult oluline, kui oled jäänud rassi, religiooni ning rahvusluse jäikade müüride vahele.

Israel, 1996. Against the backdrop of the Ethiopian blood scandal, Hailu, a 21-year-old Ethiopian Jew, is entrusted with his father’s knife and sent to perform an ancient ritual: the slaughter of a lamb. His journey leads him into the desert and across into Palestine, where fulfilling his family’s tradition becomes a confrontation with identity, violence, and the possibility of choosing his own path.

Directed by New York-based photographer and filmmaker Gigi Betito, “Black Slaughter” is a stunning, cinematic watch and an unexpected combination of profound human empathy and a powerful, dark comedic edge. Rooted in real history, it’s a deeply personal story about figuring out who you are and what actually matters when you’re caught between the rigid walls of race, religion, and nationalism.
