“The show is good for Israel! It shows Israel’s human face and that human face is Yafit Josephson!”-JEWISH JOURNAL

Written by Yafit Josephson and Suzanne Bressler and directed by Sammie Wayne, NEW EYES tells the life story of Yafit, a young woman living in Israel who joins the Israeli army to serve heroically for her country. Upon completing her service, she moves to Los Angeles to follow her dream of becoming an actress but finds herself constantly cast only as a Middle Eastern villain. Just as her native country wrestles with the world’s false perceptions, Yafit must decide how far she is willing to go to challenge, change, or accept how others see her, and what she is willing to risk to fulfill her dreams and destiny.
