BLESSED IS THE MATCH: THE LIFE & DEATH OF HANNAH SENESH

Hannah Senesh was a World War II-era poet, diarist and staunch Zionist, who became famous as a paratrooper, resistance fighter and modern-day Joan of Arc. Her mother, Catherine, documented her daughter's life in memoirs and in correspondence with Hannah. This dramatized documentary is based on interviews with family members, classmates, and kibbutz members—as well as Shimon Peres and historian Michael Berenbaum. Hannah's dramatic life story is told through Catherine's eyes, honoring the legacies of both mother and daughter. Under consideration for an Academy Award® for Best Documentary Feature.

Running Time: 81 Minutes
