What to Watch Tonight: New Ethiopian-Israeli Documentary and Roni Kuban

Saturday night television brings a rich blend of emotional documentaries, intimate interviews, and international docuseries. Here is a look at the standout picks to watch tonight.

Documenting the Ethiopian-Israeli Experience

Kahn 11 premieres Tlusim, a powerful three-part social documentary created and directed by Avishai Malsan Zagehon. The series explores the "Generation 1.5" immigrants from Ethiopia who arrived as children during Operation Moses and grew up balancing the desire to integrate with the feeling that society still views them as outsiders. Through intimate conversations between members of this generation and their parents, the series examines the heavy price of trying to become quintessential "sabras." Among the participants are actress Aviva Negusa Terry and stand-up comedian Shlomo "Baby Baby" Shmuel.

"Through intimate conversations, the series examines what was left behind, what was suppressed, and what it means to build an identity stretched between the Ethiopian home and Israeli reality."

Deep Conversations and Global Survival Stories

Also on Kahn 11, Roni Kuban returns for a brand-new season of his acclaimed interview program, Pegisha Im Roni Kuban. Moving away from brief news-cycle soundbites, Kuban sits down for deep, biographical conversations about career, family, and personal turning points. The season opener features renowned architect Asaf Rapaport.

For streaming audiences, Disney+ introduces Chilean Mine Rescue: Race Against Time, a gripping new docuseries revisiting the 2010 San Jose mine disaster in northern Chile, where 33 miners were trapped over 600 meters underground for 69 harrowing days.
