Screening as part of the 26th Annual Central Florida Jewish Film Festival!

Set in British Mandatory Palestine, this gripping historical thriller from celebrated British filmmaker Michael Winterbottom (A Mighty Heart, The Trip series), weaves a story of star-crossed love with one of political radicalization and violence. The year is 1938 on the eve of the Second World War, and tensions are high in Tel Aviv where the British control a mixed Arab and Jewish population in Palestine. English police officer Thomas Wilkin and Jewish journalist and activist Shoshana Borochov, the daughter of the Zionist Labor movement co-founder, are passionately in love. But political unrest is escalating. Avraham Stern is leading the Irgun in a deadly campaign against the British authorities, who under the leadership of officer Geoffrey Morton (Harry Melling, the Harry Potter series), have unilaterally increased their crackdown on both Jews and Arabs. Based on real people and events, this rigorously acted and smartly crafted drama is a subtle homage to the noir classic The Third Man and an insightful portrait of the legacy of British colonialism and political violence.
