GPJFF Outside the Box
Philadelphia Premiere
Grierson Award-winning director Iris Zaki enters the heart of Tekoa, an Israeli settlement in the West-Bank, to sit down and talk to the locals. Though fearful at first of the left wing invader, settlers from various backgrounds gradually open up to her. Their honest, surprising, and sometimes funny conversations offer a fresh take on Israeli reality from both sides of the Green Line.
Followed by a Skype interview with director Iris Zaki

Reviews: “Though Unsettling wears its political heart on its sleeve, it is nuanced in ways that the recent crop of Israeli documentaries is often not.” (Tal Kra-Oz, Tablet Magazine)
