JIFF: Jonathan Agassi Saved My Life

Australian Premiere

“A quantum leap in the work of one of Israel’s leading documentary filmmakers.” - Haaretz

Jonathan Agassi is one of the world's most successful gay porn stars. The director Tomer Heymann (Mr Gaga) followed him for eight years, both in his temporary hometown of Berlin and back in Tel Aviv with his mother. Alongside his acting, he performs in live shows and works as an escort. Offering a rare and intimate look inside what is often a taboo world, Jonathan Agassi Saved My Life also gives us access to the unique relationship between a mother and son who courageously redefine familiar family concepts. 

Contains sex scenes and nudity.
