Malka Tosia, who was documented in the docu-series "Prisoners", passed away at the age of 30 near the central station in Tel Aviv, when she was homeless and sick. Tusia was buried yesterday in the cemetery in Tiberias. The series followed four female inmates in Neve Tirzah prison who were born into a violent family and whose life led them - almost without a choice - to a fate of drugs, violence and imprisonment.
The initiator and creator of the series Osherit Nevra paid tribute to her in an emotional post on Facebook: "Writing in tears. That's it. The short and painful days of Malka Tusia's life are over and done with. Transparent even in her death, Malka was honored to be buried next to her mother in the cemetery in Tiberias. A child born to a lost life, to a dysfunctional family unit , to an unsafe home, to an unsafe parenting, who saw so many things a child should not see, who experienced so many things a child should not experience, who grew up to be so smart and kind and compassionate, and then died alone in the street at the central station, sick And exhausted.
"I met Malka in Neve Tirzah during the filming of the series 'Prisoners'. From the moment we met her we understood that she was going to melt hearts and that no viewer could remain indifferent to her. Full of charisma, full of wisdom, good eyes and a wide smile, Malka conquered the screen and the heart. The transparent girl, the transparent girl, the transparent woman, who was trampled, told us how difficult it was for her, how sad she was, how much it hurt. She shared with us how much she wants to succeed, to get out of it, and how scared she is. Accompanying Malka and falling in love with her is so easy.
To know at every moment that she really has no chance, that her end is near and cruel, just crushed our hearts."
"We hoped so much, we were so afraid, we have been so sad since the news of her death. The entire team of the series and I wanted to give the Queen the opportunity to be seen, to be heard. To let viewers get to know this wonderful woman, to break the transparency that was the property of her tormented life And let her shine on the screen with all her charisma and wisdom. Even in her death, I would be happy if we could give her a moment of respectable commemoration. I'm sorry, you deserved more I care. Rest in peace, it's finally time for a revolution."
