Sneak Peak
“The director, granddaughter of the protagonist, courageously reveals her grandfather’s deeds while masterly interweaving history with candid revelations of his private past.” - Jerusalem Film Festival Jury Statement
Zvi Elpeleg was the first military governor of the Arab citizens of Israel after the establishment of the state. In this deeply personal documentary, director Danel Elpeleg investigates her grandfather’s conflicted legacy. The positive image Zvi projected begins to crumble when Danel uncovers a deeply hidden family secret that reveals his actions as a ruler – both in the military and family spheres.
Winning Best Documentary at the Jerusalem Film Festival, this gripping historical tale uncovers a deeply hidden family secret where the personal and political irrevocably intertwine.
