"The two most public-facing co-directors Basel Adra, who is Palestinian, and Yuval Abraham, who is Israeli have endured endless attacks and setbacks, including from a right-wing Israeli mob that staked out Abrahams family home in a blatant act of intimidation, and, less violently, from U.S. distributors who refused to touch the film for fear of setting off a political firestorm."
