It Kinda Scares Me

The documentary follows Tomer Heymann, who serves as both the filmmaker and a drama coach for a group of boys labeled as delinquents. The boys navigate their lives filled with bravado and the pressure of their environment, particularly on Friday nights when tensions often escalate into fights. Heymann encourages these young men to channel their struggles into a creative outlet, allowing them to confront their pain and marginalization through drama.

A pivotal moment occurs when Heymann reveals his sexuality to the group, initially shocking the boys. However, his dedication to their play ultimately fosters a sense of understanding and collaboration. As they work together, the boys begin to articulate their experiences, shedding light on the lives of disaffected Israeli youth. This documentary not only captures the essence of youth leadership but also highlights the transformative power of theater in addressing real-life issues.
