The Divided Promised Land

Israel is undergoing great turmoil as political factions on the left and right engage in a contentious face-off. Is this the end of democracy in Israel? With the rise of an extreme right-wing government, the growing minority of national religious settlers are gaining momentum. They feel encouraged in stating their claims to what they consider “god-given land”, supported by party leaders who now serve as ministers. Simultaneously, a growing number of people are resisting a government they believe undermines democracy. Fostering an unprecedented protest movement that brings together diverse political factions and interest groups. This film paints a vivid picture of a divided Israel.
