Known For “I didn’t know anything,” said Mar’i, who first got interested in acting through an after-school theater class. Jessica Steinberg covers the Sabra scene from south to north and back to the center.There’s never a shortage of heart-wrenching, angst-ridden movies about the Israeli-Palestinian divide.
