Come watch this deeply moving portrait of Ada Karmi Melamede, one of the most accomplished architects in the world about whom very little is known outside her home country of Israel. Directed by her daughter, filmmaker and former architect Yael Melamede, the film shows Ada as a true pioneer who, like many successful working mothers of her time, was forced to make impossible choices. Despite personal sacrifices, Ada designed Israel’s most important civic institutions, including the Supreme Court building in Jerusalem, the Open University, Ben Gurion University, and the Institute for Democracy.
