The Green Prince

A tense documentary in the style of psychological thrillers with incredible first hand insight into the highly secretive world of covert operations, this is also the story of an unlikely friendship between sworn enemies. The Green Prince follows the unlikely journey of Mosab Hassan Yousef, born in Palestine to a high ranking Hamas leader. Having witnessed brutal tactics in the ranks of his own people, Mosab does the unthinkable: he spies on Hamas for Israel's Shin Bet intelligence agency. Using candid interviews and reenactments, director Nadav Schirman follows Mosab's transformation and his evolving relationship with his Israeli handler, Gonen Ben Yitzhak. cf
