Shoshana

Inspired by real events, SHOSHANA is a political thriller set in 1930s Tel Aviv. Thomas Wilkin, who works in the anti-terrorist squad of the British Palestine Police force, is in love with Shoshana Borochov. Through their relationship the film explores the way extremism and violence drives a wedge between people, forcing them to choose sides.

“In the current media-political climate, the film’s total absence of Palestinian voices is glaring, but that’s no fault of Winterbottom’s storytelling. Shoshana clearly defines its own purview, giving valuable insight into the variance of opinion within the era’s Zionist movement, while also highlighting the central role of a third player in this fraught and bloody history: British colonialism.” ~Ellen E.
