Kan 11 presenter bursts into tears at the cinema: "This doesn't usually happen to me"
Journalist Asaf Liberman was deeply moved by the Israeli drama "Independence". On his social media, he admitted that he could not hold back his tears during the screening and highly praised the work of director Moshe Rosenthal and actor Asi Cohen.
Kan 11 presenter and host of the radio program "Kalman-Liberman", journalist Asaf Liberman, is known to the public primarily for his professional journalistic work. However, an exceptional moment occurred recently when he watched the new Israeli feature film "Independence"—it triggered such an extraordinary reaction that Liberman was caught overwhelmed with emotions to the point of tears in front of a full movie theater.
In a story uploaded to his Instagram account, Liberman chose to share this candid moment, admitting that such a reaction is not characteristic of him at all:
"Apologies to my friends in row 4 at Cinema City, I cried out loud. This doesn't usually happen to me in movies."
Beyond the personal admission, Liberman was deeply moved by the quality of local cinema and added with enthusiasm: "Independence is a masterpiece. We are fortunate to have such cinema."
The film "Independence", directed by Moshe Rosenthal, is an Israeli drama starring Asi Cohen. The plot moves between two periods in the life of Boaz, a child who discovers a shocking secret about his father—a discovery that shakes his world and affects his family for years.
The film has already achieved international success after being selected for screening at the prestigious Sundance Festival and opening the Jerusalem Film Festival. For Cohen, who is considered one of the most successful comedians in Israel, this is a central dramatic role that is completely different from his usual work—and as Liberman witnessed, it is one that does not leave a dry eye.
