NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE Intrigued that the 1988 Sylvester Stallone war movie Rambo III was filmed in Israel’s Negev Desert, Daniel Mann begins investigating. Mann writes letters to Stallone, and also encounters self-taught artist Bashir, a Palestinian Bedouin dispossessed from his tribal land, who had been hired to work on the movie. Shifting between sharp irony and penetrating reflections on the Israeli occupation, the film provides a lucid look at the region’s past and present. - Ruth Somalo
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with DOC NYC senior programmer Ruth Somalo.
