At 20 years old, Yosef Dadosh was among 3,000 Benghazi Jews sent to the Giado concentration camp in the heart of the Libyan desert during World War II. He secretly kept a diary of the ordeal, capturing the harrowing existence endured by the camp’s inmates. For seven decades, the diary remained locked away, even hidden from his own children, until his passing. Dadosh’s dark legacy is finally brought to light by directors Golan Rise and Sharon Yaish in this beautifully crafted documentary told by animating a miniature model of the camp alongside haunting excerpts from the diary.
Screening includes a Live Zoom Q&A with Co-Director Sharon Yaish. Giado will be shown with the film, Nesia. The film is also available to view online June 6 – June 7 through the TJFF Virtual Cinema.
