Say Amen (2005) is a personal documentary film by David Deri, an Orthodox Jew, who reveals his homosexuality to his parents and siblings.
The confessional film follows David as he takes small steps, gathering courage, and hoping to receive acceptance from his family.
Set in Tel Aviv, Say Amen explores the varying ideologies regarding homosexuality that are present in Israel today.
Many religions interpret that the book of Leviticus from the Bible as describing homosexuality as an "abomination" that is punishable by death, although this has been debated for quite some time.
The frustrated looks, the sad sighs, and the lectures are all addressed to the camera, making it easy for the viewer to imagine how David must feel.
