WATCH: Trailer for the Irish-produced Apples Of The Golan documentary
A new Irish documentary, Apples Of The Golan, commences its first cinematic run on January 16 in the Dublin IFI.
It tells the story of a beleaguered community who’ve paid the price for successive Middle Eastern disputes including the current Syrian Civil War.
“Before the Six Day War, Majdal Shams was one of 139 villages in the Golan Heights region,” reads the blurb. “Only five remain. Over 130,000 Syrian Arabs were forced from their homes never to return. Amongst those who remain a stoic pragmatism prevails, Israel their home, Syria their homeland. Neither is paradise. They are too few to fight. The apples are the people’s bombs.”
We have to say it looks absolutely brilliant!
