The official trailer has been released for Yuval Adler’s BETHLEHEM, winner of six Israeli Academy Awards and Israel’s Official Entry for the Best Foreign Language Film – 86th Academy Awards. BETHLEHEM tells the story of the unlikely bond between Razi, an Israeli secret service officer, and his Palestinian informant Sanfur. BETHLEHEM is set to be released in the U.S. on February 21, 2014.
Sanfur is the younger brother of a senior Palestinian militant. Razi recruited him when he was just 15, and developed a very close, almost fatherly relationship to him. Now 17, Sanfur tries to navigate between Razi’s demands and his loyalty to his brother, living a double life and lying to both. When the Israeli secret service discovers how deeply involved Sanfur is in his brother’s activities, Razi is faced with an impossible dilemma.
