Avenge But One of My Two Eyes (2005)

Filmmaker Avi Mograbi, working in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone, presents a provocative documentary film connecting the current situation to the ancient stories of Samson and Masada. The film is a stark and often unsettling reflection on the ongoing cycles of violence stemming from historical roots, posing a threat to the future. It highlights the lack of deeper examination of these conflicts in contemporary media, underscoring the importance of filmmakers like Mograbi. Rarely does documentary explore issues of this scope with such thoughtful and powerful storytelling. This is an exceptional and demanding film.
