What did I do wrong by getting older? So I have wrinkles. An actress has to stay at her age

She once dreamed of playing Medea, but was turned down, and today she realizes that the theater struggled to "swallow" her. Yet Hannah Azoulay-Hasfari didn’t wait for approval: she wrote, directed, acted, and brought to the screen stories of women that no one had told before. In honor of receiving the recognition award from the Women’s Film Festival at the Jerusalem Cinematheque, she clarifies in an interview that the voice she fought to raise is only getting stronger: "I don’t have good Mizrahi characters and bad Ashkenazi ones. They’re all both, complex like all human beings."
