9-3-2013 'Room 514': Israeli Film Looks at Gender, Justice, Sexuality & the Occupation - Mira Sucharov Open Zion

http://www.thedailybeast.com/openzion.html Thanks to Netflix, viewers outside of Israel can catch a glimpse of a compelling 2012 Israeli film that premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. A “triumph of low-budget filmmaking,” as Variety calls it , Room 514 is a cinéma-vérité-style meditation on psychology, morality, identity and politics.

Mr. Netanyahu has also joined forces with a racist faction whose leaders support expelling Arab citizens and call them "the enemy....
