“An elegantly interwoven sequence of words and images that concentrate on the human face of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict”
DEADLY CURRENTS has been acclaimed as the most valuable film yet made on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Granted unprecedented access to both sides of the struggle, award-winning director Simcha Jacobovici brings us never-before-seen footage of the violence and horror of a land in turmoil.
This explosive and groundbreaking film examines the brutal hostility from both sides, giving voice to the full spectrum of opinion: Arabs and Jews, doves and militants, rational academics and bloodied combatants. Shot in the high-voltage reality of riot-torn streets and underground trials, the filmmakers risk their own lives to vividly capture the human struggles in a world where bloodshed is an everyday reality.
