The Jewish Underground
A political detective thriller that goes back to the Shin Bet Security Service interrogation that led to the arrest of the Jewish underground, an organization that operated in the early 1980’s in the West Bank. The Jewish Underground carried out a series of terror attacks against Palestinians and conspired to blow up the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. The film reveals how, over the years, the members of the underground became influential members of Israeli politics, pulling the strings from behind the stage of the current government in Israel.
