Enraged @ Gallery5
Sun Mar 9 5:00 pm
Screening times 5pm and 7pm FREE
Enraged directed by Eyal Eithcowich
“Enraged” follows a group of Jewish-Israeli activists who refuse to sit back while the occupation continues. They bring food into Palestinian villages under curfew, tear down parts of the separation barrier, and serve as human shields for Palestinian demonstrators. In Israel they are ostracized; in Palestine they endure a similar fate to that of the Palestinians—they are beaten, sprayed with tear-gas, and shot at with rubber-coated bullets. One such bullet hits one of the film’s main characters, a 16 year old boy from Tel Aviv, in the head, permanently impairing his eyesight. The heroes of “Enraged” jolt viewers out of their passivity, forcing them to ask: what can I do to end the occupation?
“Enraged” premiered at the Haifa International Film Festival last October, was broadcast several times on Israeli TV and was shown in theaters in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
