Feature film The Tower of Strength

The Tower of Strength, feature film / INTRODUCTORY PREMISES
The Term of SACRIFICE: the issue of collective vs. personal interest

LOG LINE
When a child under pursuit finds refuge in the house of an enemy of his people, the master of the house is faced with a terrible moral dilemma: surrender the child to his persecutors and sacrifice his honour, or refuse and forfeit the lives of his entire family. The film re-examines the value of an individual human sacrifice through the prism of two different worlds: the world of honour and the world of war.

DIRECTOR’ NOTE: 

Imagine a powerful collaboration between Jews and Palestinians – together making a movie about how to rise above nation/religion and be human? Can you imagine a few Russians and Ukrainians, Indians and Pakistanis, North and South Koreans, Turks and Greeks, making a movie that showcases how we can transcend the boundaries of nation and religion and unite as human beings? Despite centuries of bloodshed, a few brave individuals from opposing sides come together to create a cinematic story that offers hope for a better future.

My ancestors and the ancestors of the actors in my film – they looked at each other through the sights of a rifle for a long time, and those wounds still run deep and much alive today, both within them and within us.

This is why my upcoming film, which features a Muslim hero who sacrifices everything to save an innocent Christian child, is more than just a work of art. It’s a powerful reminder that universal human values can overcome even the most entrenched differences.

The story is set in the Balkan region, but its message is universal. It’s an ode to humanity, a prayer for peace, and a poignant tale of sacrifice and values that we all need. By rising above our small human determinations, we can create a brighter future for ourselves and for generations to come. Don’t miss out on the chance to be part of this groundbreaking project.
