Tantura | 2022 Award Winning Film

This film is not entertaining or easy to watch, however it is well worth the time and focus on not only what is being said but what these folks emanate from their souls as they are clearly about to leave the mortal form.Show more

I want to thank Celia Farber (https://celiafarber.substack.com/) who I follow on Substack or I wouldn't have known about this film. Here are her words:

"I waited a long time to post this film, thought about it, waited some more. The director believes that if Israelis learn their true history, they will develop compassion.

It is an absolutely extraordinary film, and very compassionate.

You feel the pain of the settlers, at the end of their lives, wondering who made them do the things they did. Wondering if they should remember, or try to, and wondering why they spent their whole lives trying to forget, but being unable to.

Ben Gurion commissioned and ordained the state of Israel on a falsified history. By design, no question about it. He had his reasons.

But it never works—to bury the truth."

About the film: When Israeli graduate student Teddy Katz meticulously documented a massacre of Palestinian civilians surrounding Israel's independence, he was initially celebrated for his groundbreaking work. But soon, he was stripped of his degrees and was publicly shamed as a fraudulent traitor. Decades later, incendiary new evidence emerges to corroborate Teddy's initial findings, not just vindicating him, but raising profound questions about how Israelis — and we all — deal with the darker chapters of history.
