Documentaries on Right-Wing Israeli Leaders, Global Adoption Scandal Score Pre-Sales for Java Films (EXCLUSIVE)
Java Films has pre-sold docs on Israel's notorious right-wing leaders and an international adoption scandal ahead of Unifrance's Rendez-vous.
Global crises and a scandal of international proportions are among the hot topics attracting documentary buyers ahead of the Unifrance Rendez-Vous TV market in Le Havre, where Java Films is presenting a compelling and timely lineup. The film, directed by Jérôme Sesquin and Nitzan Perelman and produced by Yuzu Productions, examines the impactful roles Ben-Gvir and Smotrich have had in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, in deepening the internal divisions of Israeli society and in leading the country towards its most dire existential threat since its establishment in 1948. Shooting the film “under truly exceptional circumstances,” in and around the Haitian capital, the filmmakers spoke to many of the residents held hostage by the ongoing crisis as well as to Jimmy Chérizier, the notorious spokesman of a powerful gang alliance known as Viv Ansamn.
