One story : two perspectives

ONE STORY : TWO PERSPECTIVES Palestine in and Israel out of Oscar race Some might call it a coincidence others might believe its art depicting life but fact is that both Israel and the Palestinian Authority choose the same story to make a movie on . Israeli Movie "Bethlehem " is the story, about a relationship between a Palestinian collaborator and his Israeli operator at the intelligence services. It is directed by Israeli Yuval Adler and written by Palestinian Ali Waked. It’s the kind of gritty, political drama about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that tells the story of an Israeli secret service officer and his Palestinian informant . Two strong characters who are dealing with their moral demons . Powerful portrayal of "Human feelings and loyalties" set against the backdrop of war . Omar is a Palestinian movie directed by Hani Abu -Assad , it is a dramatic love story about Omar a baker arrested and beaten by Israeli intelligence agents following the murder of an Israeli soldier. He is later forced to act as a double agent for Israeli intelligence and help an Israeli secret service agent . He is in love with Nadja but the movie is quite tragic . It is shot in the city of Nazareth, which has the largest Arab population of any city in Israel. Much of the on-location shoot for Omar, inspired by a true story Abu-Assad heard from a friend, growing up in Nazareth .
