Tantura
The untold story of Israel's foundation
Directed by Alon Schwarz
Produced by Reel Peak Films, TIME Studios
A sobering historical documentary that excavates a suppressed massacre and the personal cost of truth-telling in a deeply fractured national narrative.
When, in the late 1990s, Israeli student Teddy Katz exposed the massacre of Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces in the village of Tantura, in May 1948, during the first Arab-Israeli war, he was initially praised for his pioneering work; but he was soon infamous and branded a traitor. Decades later, incendiary new evidence emerges that corroborates Teddy's findings.
