 The film, co-directed and co-produced with Philippe Bellaïche, tells the story of Leah Tsemel, an Israeli human rights lawyer known for representing Palestinian defendants, especially in high-profile terrorism cases.When the film won the Jury Award at Docaviv, which was supported by Mifal HaPayis, a government agency, a storm of right-wing political pressure broke out, demanding that the agency renege on its financial obligation to the festival.When Minister of Culture Miri Regev joined the call to cancel its support, calling the film "anti-Israel", Mifal HaPayis announced it would no longer fund the award.
