‘Strangers No More’, film about Tel Aviv elementary school that has students from 48 different countries, gets Best Documentary Short Subject award. Israeli-born Natalie Portman earns Best Actress award

"Strangers No More," a film about a Tel Aviv elementary school that has students from 48 different countries – many wracked by genocide, war or famine – won for best documentary short subject at the Academy Awards ceremony Sunday night.

The American film, produced and directed by Karen Goodman and Kirk Simon, is 40 minutes long and examines the environment at the Bialik-Rogozin School in Tel Aviv and the backgrounds of the children of foreign workers who for the most part, have come to Israel from countries suffering from poverty, hunger and political adversity.

Goodman, who accepted the award with Kirk, sent her regards to Tel Aviv from the stage and said that the southern Tel Aviv school was an expression of tolerance between human beings. The two were accompanied by the school’s principal, Karen Tal.

"The King’s Speech" was crowned best picture, with the monarchy drama leading as expected with four Oscars and predictable favorites claiming acting honors.

Colin Firth as stammering British ruler George VI in "The King’s Speech" earned the best-actor prize Sunday, while Israeli-born Natalie Portman won best actress as a delusional ballerina in "Black Swan."
