Jesus Figueroa, @Thisfunktional of ThisFunktional.com talks with writer-director-producer iLan Azoulai again about documentary film HOLY GHETTO, having its west coast premiere on June 21, and get an update on the documentary.

Four souls trapped within Tel Aviv’s red-light district, entangled in sex trafficking and addiction, embark on spiritual journeys to transcend their personal ghettos. Olga, abducted by traffickers at 17; Dave, an American who founded a shelter for homeless women in prostitution; Yana, a recovering addict and struggling mother of five; and Ohad, a former sex-trafficker chasing redemption. Holy Ghetto is a story of hope and transformation, asking: Can they rise above what they became? And in turn, can we?

HOLY GHETTO having its west coast premiere on June 21 at 6:15pm at the TCL Chinese Theatre.

WRITER/DIR/PROD: iLan Azoulai
FEAT: Olga Filipov, Ohad Shaul, Dave Fiquette, Yana Stern
