On the upcoming Saturday night (September 30), Channel 11 will broadcast the film "שלושתינו" ("The Three of Us"), created by the Haredi filmmaker Henia Brodbecker, which exposes the challenges she and her husband face in integrating their autistic son into the Haredi educational framework.
The documentary film, which recently won at the Jerusalem Film Festival, is a personal film by Brodbecker that illustrates the conflict between parents of an autistic child and the Haredi society in Bnei Brak, which struggles to accept someone who is different. The two parents believe that their 6-year-old son, Ari, can and deserves to integrate into regular society. However, when they encounter closed doors and rejection from the community, they are forced to go through a process of disillusionment and pain as they seek an alternative place that will accept him.
